Korn shell script comparison

I have a scenario to implement in Korn shell script. Here it is..
I need to compare two values to see whether they are same or not. The issue is that the values coming in for comparison can be a string or an integer which can be determined during run time only.

Which korn shell comparison operator can be used in this case to work on both string and integer values? Please HELP
