Answer / m.sridhar
ArrayList and vector both are dynamically growing arrays.
ArrayList is not thread safe where as vector is thread safe.
vector is legacy class and ArrayList is newly added.
by default ArrayList capacity is 0 where as Vector intial
capacity is 10.
vector is growing by its size doubled.
ArrayList is increse by its size half(50%)

Answer / vikas
1. Vector is synchronized while ArrayList is not.
2. Vector has default size is 10 while ArrayList has 10(Look
Java Class).
3. We can specify increment size with Vector.
4. If we use ensureCapacity(int minCapacity) to set the
default increment size then remember following things:
a. Vector v = new Vector();
b. V.capacity(); === output will be 10
c. If you try to set v.ensureCapacity(5),then
d. V.capacity(); ===10
e. If you try to set v.ensureCapacity( >20), then
f. V.capacity();===20 and
g. If you try to set v.ensureCapacity(21), then
h. V.capacity();===21, It clears that if set capacity over
20 then it will be set otherwise no.
