Vector containing heterogeneous objects

Vectors can store heterogeneous objects because everything is saved in terms of Object.

Code:

---

                String string = new String ("MyString");
                Integer integer = new Integer(2);
                Vector vector = new Vector();
                vector.add(string);
                vector.add(integer);

---

Vector wont be able to contain if you heterogeneous objects bind it with a type like this:

Code:

---

                Vector <String> vector = new Vector<String>();
