@guideintro["vectors"]{vectors}

A @deftech{vector} is a fixed-length array with constant-time access
and update of the vector slots, which are numbered from @racket[0] to
one less than the number of slots in the vector.

Two vectors are @racket[equal?] if they have the same length, and if
the values in corresponding slots of the vectors are
@racket[equal?].

A vector can be @defterm{mutable} or @defterm{immutable}. When an
immutable vector is provided to a procedure like @racket[vector-set!],
the @exnraise[exn:fail:contract]. Vectors generated by the default
reader (see @secref["parse-string"]) are immutable. Use
@racket[immutable?] to check whether a vector is immutable.

A vector can be used as a single-valued sequence (see
@secref["sequences"]). The elements of the vector serve as elements
of the sequence. See also @racket[in-vector].

A literal or printed vector starts with @litchar{#(}, optionally with
a number between the @litchar{#} and
@litchar{(}. @see-read-print["vector" #:print "vectors"]{vectors}
