Vector is a class that implements a kind of dynamic array.  

Object
    Dictionary (abstract)
        Hashtable
            Properties
    Vector
        Stack

You can add instances of any class to it, using methods:

• add(...)
• addElement(...)
• etc...

and then retrieve them using a number of methods:

• elementAt()
• firstElement()
• lastElement()
• toArray()
• etc.

You can remove elements from the Vector :

• remove()
• removeElementAt()
• removeAll()
• removeRange()
• etc.

and you can replace an element with another element:

• set()
• setElementAt()

You can also obtain the elements stored in a Vector by using an Enumeration, returned from the Vector by calling the method:

• elements()

Note that Vector is being replaced by ArrayList.  (see later).
