  - getRequiredType
```
protected SequenceType getRequiredType(int arg)
```
    Get the required type of the nth argument
    
    Overrides:
    
    getRequiredType in class SystemFunction
    
    Parameters:
    
    arg - the number of the argument whose type is requested, zero-based
    
    Returns:
    
    the required type of the argument as defined in the function signature
  - evaluateAsString
```
public java.lang.CharSequence evaluateAsString(XPathContext c)
                                        throws XPathException
```
    Evaluate the function in a string context
    
    Overrides:
    
    evaluateAsString in class Expression
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context. The expression must return a string or (); if the value of the expression is (), this method returns "".
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
  - evaluateItem
```
public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                  throws XPathException
```
    Evaluate in a general context
    
    Specified by:
    
    evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
    
    Overrides:
    
    evaluateItem in class Expression
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
    
    Returns:
    
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
