I have a pointer m to an object, and calling m->det() returns 14 (the return type is a double). Why would the following statement evaluate to false?

cout << (m->det()==14) << endl;

I just don't understand how this could be failing. Using

cout << m->det() << endl;
cout << (m->det()==14) << endl;

gives me:

14
