There are some examples there.

atom a
integer i
sequence s
object x

a = 4.5 -- any number.  Whole or decimal.  Supports very large numbers.

integers are a subset of atoms
i = 7 -- Whole numbers only.  There is a limit on the size.  They can be
positive or negative.
i = 'A' -- A single number that represnts the letter A.  In this case the
value is 65.

objects can be either a sequence or an atom
a sequence is a set of objects
a sequence can be just a set of atoms
s = {65,66,67}
s = {'A', 'B', 'C'}
s = "ABC"
a sequence can contain other sequences.
s = {"one", "two"}
s = {{'o','n','e'}, {'t','w','o'}}
a sequence can contain a mixture of sequences or atoms
s = {"Test", 5, {"more",3, "stuff"}}

objects can be either a sequence of an atom
x = "my sequence"
x = 123.456
