Vectors.
A vector is a growable array of elements. Like an array, it contains components that can be accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a Vector can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate adding and removing items after the Vector has been created. The class Vector includes methods for examining individual elements, comparing, searching and extracting parts.

    Vector < int > intVector;

    void setup() {

      digitalWrite(48, HIGH);

      for(int i=0; i<255; i++) {  // add 255 elements from 0 to 254
        intVector.addElement(i);
      }

      Serial.print("The vector's capacity is: ");
      Serial.println(intVector.capacity(), DEC);  // print the vector's capacity

      if(intVector.contains(15) == true) {  // check if contains number 15
