```
public static boolean isComparable(int t1,
                                   int t2,
                                   boolean ordered)
```
    Determine whether two primitive atomic types are comparable
    
    Parameters:
    
    t1 - the first type to compared. This must be a primitive atomic type as defined by ItemType.getPrimitiveType()
    
    t2 - the second type to compared. This must be a primitive atomic type as defined by ItemType.getPrimitiveType()
    
    ordered - true if testing for an ordering comparison (lt, gt, le, ge). False if testing for an equality comparison (eq, ne)
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the types are comparable, as defined by the rules of the "eq" operator
  - isOrdered
```
public static boolean isOrdered(int type)
```
    Determine whether a primitive type is ordered. Note that the rules for this differ between XPath and XML Schema: these are the XPath rules.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the primitive item type being tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the types are potentially comparable. For abstract types (type=ATOMIC) we give the benefit of the doubt and return true.
  - isNumericPrimitiveType
```
public static boolean isNumericPrimitiveType(ItemType t)
```
    Test whether the supplied type, which must be a primitive type, is one of the numeric primitive types
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - the type being tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the type is integer, double, float, decimal, or the abstract type "numeric"
  - isNumericPrimitiveType
```
public static boolean isNumericPrimitiveType(int fp)
```
    Test whether the supplied type, which must be a primitive type, is one of the numeric primitive types
    
    Parameters:
    
    fp - the fingerprint of the type being tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the type is integer, double, float, decimal, or the abstract type "numeric"
