Calling a boolean from methods

BB2921 (18)
Having some trouble calling a boolean. whenever I try to call the method in the main I never get a return. Anyone have a go at it?
here is the method
1

  bool piggybank::isEqual(piggybank p2)
{
    if(calcpiggyBankValue() == p2.calcpiggyBankValue())
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}



bool piggybank::isLessthan(piggybank p2)
{
    
    
    if(calcpiggyBankValue() < p2.calcpiggyBankValue())
        return true;
    else
        return false;
    
}







bool piggybank::isGreaterthan(piggybank p2)
{
    if(calcpiggyBankValue() > p2.calcpiggyBankValue())
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}


here is the calling in the int main():
1
2
3
 
bank5.isEqual(bank6);
    bank5.isGreaterthan(bank6);
    bank5.isLessthan(bank6);

Are you actually getting the return value or doing anything with it? How do you know that it isn't returning? For example:
1
2
3
4
 
bool isEqual = bank5.isEqual(bank6);
if (isEqual) {
    // ...
}

Of course, you don't need to store it in the variable, you could just call it directly inside the if statement, but I don't know exactly what it is you want to do with the information so I left it as is.

What does calcpiggyBankValue() do? Is that function hanging?
