Hi Karen,

If your program involves thread implementations, then you need to use vector instead of arrylist, which will effect your performance since all the methods in vector are synchronized which means only one thread at a time can use this method so it degrades the performance, 

But if the application doesn't involves multiple threads we need to stick with ArrayLists
