Vector class implements a growable array of
objects. Like an array, it contains components that can be
accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a
Vector can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate
adding and removing items after the Vector has been created.
Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a
capacity and a capacityIncrement. The
capacity is always at least as large as the vector
size; it is usually larger because as components are added to the
vector, the vector's storage increases in chunks the size of
capacityIncrement. An application can increase the
capacity of a vector before inserting a large number of
components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation.
The iterators returned by this class's Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed
as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the
presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators
throw As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to
implement the iterator and
listIterator methods are fail-fast:
if the vector is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is
created, in any way except through the iterator's own
remove or
add methods, the iterator will throw a

concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather
than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined
time in the future. The ConcurrentModificationExceptionEnumerations returned by
the elements method are not fail-fast.

Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
exception for its correctness: the fail-fast behavior of iterators
should be used only to detect bugs.

minimize the storage of a vector.
If the current capacity of this vector is less than
minCapacity, then its capacity is increased by replacing its
internal data array, kept in the field elementData, with a
larger one. The size of the new data array will be the old size plus
capacityIncrement, unless the value of
capacityIncrement is less than or equal to zero, in which case
the new capacity will be twice the old capacity; but if this new size
is still smaller than minCapacity, then the new capacity will
be minCapacity.

equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.
o the Object to be compared for equality with this VectorThis method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a List can be used as a range operation by operating on a subList view instead of a whole List. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a List:
list.subList(from, to).clear();
Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf,
and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to
a subList.
The semantics of the List returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this List) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned List. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of the List, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)
