    |  | - returns the size of the array
      (vector). |  apvector
<double> passwords(100);int len;
 . . .
 len = passwords.length( );       
// len is set to 100

              operatorb = a
 |  | - copies vector a
      into vector b. 
      The size of b
      is properly adjusted to match the size of a. 
 |  
  
  
    
      |  |  - lets you change the size of the
        array.  This function may also be used when the size of the array is
        not known in advance, but is entered by the user or read from a file. |

      <double> averages; int number ;
 . . .
 cout<<"Enter number of averages: ";
 cin>>number ;
 averages.resize(number);

          |  | An empty array was
            declared.  An empty array MUST
            be resized in order to be used. |  |  
  
  
    
      | If you resize an array and the new size is smaller
        than the original size, the vector's tail is chopped off and the tail
        elements are LOST!!!!! |    |
