/**
 * The {@code 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
 * {@code Vector} can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate
 * adding and removing items after the {@code Vector} has been created.
 *
 * <p>Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a
 * {@code capacity} and a {@code capacityIncrement}. The
 * {@code 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
 * {@code capacityIncrement}. An application can increase the
 * capacity of a vector before inserting a large number of
 * components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation.
 *
 * <p>The Iterators returned by Vector's iterator and listIterator
 * methods are <em>fail-fast</em>: 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
 * ConcurrentModificationException.  Thus, in the face of concurrent
 * modification, the Iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking
 * arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.
 * The Enumerations returned by Vector's elements method are <em>not</em>
 * fail-fast.
 *
 * <p>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 {@code ConcurrentModificationException} on a best-effort basis.
 * Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this
 * exception for its correctness:  <i>the fail-fast behavior of iterators
 * should be used only to detect bugs.</i>
 *
 * <p>As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to
 * implement the {@link List} interface, making it a member of the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html"> Java
 * Collections Framework</a>.  Unlike the new collection
 * implementations, {@code Vector} is synchronized.
