Some other posters have already given you links, but a one sentence
summary might be that arrays are fixed-length, while Vectors are
variable-lengthed. I'm assuming, by the way, that when you say "Arrays", you
actually mean "arrays", and not, for example, "ArrayList" (the latter also
being variable-length).
