Vector -- the class of all elements of free modules which are handled by the engine

Vector -- the class of all elements of free modules which are handled by the engine

The type Vector is a member of the class Type. Each object of class Vector is called a vector. Each vector is also a member of class MutableHashTable.

More general types (whose methods may also apply) :

MutableHashTable -- the class of all mutable hash tables

HashTable -- the class of all hash tables

If R is a ring handled by the engine, and M is a free module over R, then M is a subclass of Vector.

Module -- the class of all modules
