Pedantic: A flipflop and a latch are different, but similar.
Latches are set high or low whenever the corresponding input is pressed.
Flipflops are edge-triggered, and in most setups only change at a clock cycle. One way to construct a flipflop is by wiring several latches together - see figure 11 of this pdf: https://www.cs.ucr.edu/~ehwang/courses/cs120b/flipflops.pdf
I had a niggling feeling they were different (realized after I posted) and I would get some reading. I haven't taken an EE course in a long time and miss it. Thank you!
