- Method Detail
  - isAssignableFrom
```
boolean isAssignableFrom(ValueDomain other)
```
    Check if a value of a given ValueDomain can be converted to a value of this ValueDomain
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the other ValueDomain
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the conversion is possible
  - isComparableWith
```
boolean isComparableWith(ValueDomain other)
```
    Check if a value of a given ValueDomain can be compared to a value of this ValueDomain
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the other ValueDomain
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the comparison is possible
  - getVarName
```
String getVarName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the default variable name for DataStructureComponents of this ValueDomain
