    Vectors are dynamic arrays whose size can be increased, allow reserving space, and store heterogeneous objects, while arrays have fixed size and can only store homogeneous values. Arrays support efficient random access and sorting, while vectors allow changing size and deleting elements. The tradeoff is that vectors require more memory as they are objects.

    the advantages and disadvantages of both?
    Differences between a Vector and an Array

    - A vector is a dynamic array, whose size can be increased, where as an array size can
    not be changed.
    - Reserve space can be given for vector, where as for arrays can not.
    - A vector is a class where as an array is not.
    - Vectors can store any type of objects, where as an array can store only homogeneous
    values.

    Advantages of Arrays:
    - Arrays supports efficient random access to the members.
    - It is easy to sort an array.
    - They are more appropriate for storing fixed number of elements

    Disadvantages of Arrays:
    - Elements can not be deleted
    - Dynamic creation of arrays is not possible
    - Multiple data types can not be stored

    Advantages of Vector:
    - Size of the vector can be changed
    - Multiple objects can be stored
    - Elements can be deleted from a vector

    Disadvantages of Vector:
    - A vector is an object, memory consumption is more.
