General Beginner Issues

Hello everyone,

Sorry I couldn't be more specific with the title I have a range of queries/issues.

[1]First of all I am a little confused after reading the documentation on atoms and sequences, as these are the only data objects in Euphoria.

As I understand these vary from memory allocated the update as needed. Then I came across the normal integer data type, so now I have a choice between using an atom or integer? I must of misunderstood the documentation.

[2]If I run the following example; EDITED I think it was something to do with puts (I thought this was the same as print).

puts(1, "Hello, World\n")

As expected I get the words "Hello World" printed within the console. Now I attempted to do the same with a simple calculation;

integer x = 2
puts(1, x+x)

I get a symbol within the console and not the calculated answer, what am I doing wrong?

[3]Can someone explain how I can declare a string variable, is this using sequence?

Thank you for your time and I apologise if my questions are very basic.
