My question is can I create a multidimesional Vector as is possible with Arrays? Can I create a Vector of Vectors? The reason i ask is because I want to create a matrix that does not have an initial size.
Thank you for your help.

I guess so though I have never tried it. Are you getting any error?

sure you can, with no limit either, besides memory of course

and so on
just remember that you're adding objects, so cast correctly when you get the objects back

sorry to bother you all again but. I am still a little confused. See what i want to do is create a matrix using vectors sort of like you do with multi-dimensional arrays. Like this:

but with vectors is there anyway of doing so.
If not thanks for the help anyway.

You will have to do something like this.


for(int k = 0; k < 10; k++){for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){matrix[k][i] = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());}}

In a 2-dimensional array each element of the array is another array. Similarly each element of the Vector can be another Vector. Is that what you want ?

Now when u want to update for the first element

Thus it can grow in both the dimensions indefinitely
