C$++$ i need help fixing my health system and save health for the next enemy..

I know it deals with my logic and how im calling the variables.

The player weapon isn't registering to deal damage.

For example, boss$\_$health $=150$ and player$\_$health $=100$

The Boss weapon does $26$ damage, and the player Sword weapon does $30$ damage. But when the player attacks it does nothing. The Boss weapon does damage to itself and player, so the output for the boss health is now $124$ and player health is $74...$ So$,$ what am i doing wrong? why isn't the player weapon being returned?
