        NO!!    NUL does not exist in Euphoria..
        {} is an empty sequence
        0 is an atom/ascii/char/integer/float/double of value: 0
        "" is an empty sequence also
        {0} is an sequence with one element which has the value: 0

        Atom are your information or data, set in numbers (either decimal or
heximal)
        Sequence are the way you structure /order you data, you can give them a
name and they can hold atom/ascii/etc but also other sequences.
        See it like a tree where the apples are the atoms (any value thus) and
the branches the sequences, some branched contain apples and other
branches, some only branches, some only apples.
        To get a apple or a whole branch of apples from the tree, say for
example [3][4][5][1] which will get the first apple from the fifth brach
of the 4th branch of th3 branch.

        You might wanne get "A beginners guide to Euphoria" by David Gay. The
link is available on "other sites related to Euphoria" on RDS HomePage

        I hope this helps..
