Vector is a variable size contiguous indexable array of objects. The size of the vector is the number of objects it contains. The capacity of the vector is the number of objects it can hold.
Objects may be inserted at any position up to the size of the vector, thus increasing the size of the vector. Objects at any position in the vector may be removed, thus shrinking the size of the Vector. Objects at any position in the Vector may be replaced, which does not affect the vector's size.
The capacity of a vector may be specified when the vector is created. If the capacity of the vector is exceeded, the capacity is increased (doubled by default).
