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;
  }
}
```

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
}
```

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!
