What are Vectors
quantities having both direction and magnitude compared to scalar quantities which have only magnitude.

What do Vectors consist of?
In order to have direction and magnitude:
Must have two or more elements of data.
Dimensionality of a vector
determined by the number of numerical elements in that vector.
