I am very new to solidity, contracts, and truffle, and I ran across a disconnect between the results of calling the getBalance() function of this basic contract:

`contract TruffleTutorial {

address private owner;

constructor() public { owner = msg.sender; }

function getOwner() public view returns(address){ return owner; }

function getBalance() public view returns(uint256){ return owner.balance; } }`

contract TruffleTutorial {

  address private owner;

  constructor() public {
      owner = msg.sender;
  }

  function getOwner() public view returns(address){
      return owner;
  }
      
function getBalance() public view returns(uint256){
      return owner.balance;
  }
}

The contract is about as simple as it gets, and when I tested it on remix, I got the balance of my test account as an unsigned integer, just as I had expected. When I tried to call the getBalance() function of a contract with the same exact code using the truffle console, I got a BN variable as such:

BN { negative: 0, words: [ 54327296, 54735606, 3094901, 596, <1 empty item> ], length: 4, red: null }

BN {
  negative: 0,
  words: [ 54327296, 54735606, 3094901, 596, <1 empty item> ],
  length: 4,
  red: null
}

Trying the getOwner() function works perfectly on both remix and truffle, but for some reason truffle seems to mess up with the getBalance() function. Again, I am very new to this, so anything helps!

Contract address balance function returns BN in truffle but actual balance in remix
