What is the difference between a vector and a list?

Can you explain the difference between a vector and a list?

Sure! A vector is a dynamic array that can grow in size, while a list is a collection of elements that can be of different types.

What are the advantages of using a vector over a list?

Vectors provide faster access to elements due to contiguous memory allocation, making them more efficient for certain operations.

Are there any situations where a list would be better than a vector?

Yes, lists are better when you need to frequently insert or delete elements, as they can do this without reallocating memory.

Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Use a vector for storing a collection of items where you need fast access, like in a game. Use a list for a playlist where you often add or remove songs.
