> The **`Vector` class** is a growable array of objects. The elements of `Vector`  can be accessed using an integer index and the size of a `Vector` can be increased or decreased.  Read more about `Vector` [here](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Vector.html). 

# 
#  What is the `elements()` method in `Vector`?

The **`elements()` method** can be used to get all the values of the `Vector` object as an `Enumeration` object.

#   
#  Syntax

```java
public Enumeration<V> elements()
```
#   
## Parameters

This method doesn't take any arguments.

##  
## Return value
The `elements()` method will return an `Enumeration` for the values of the `Vector`. In the returned `Enumeration`, the items are generated based on the index. For example, the first item generated will be the element at index `0`.

##  
## Code

The example below shows how to use the `elements()` method.

import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Enumeration;

class ElementsExample {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        Vector<Integer> vector = new Vector<>();
        vector.add(1);
        vector.add(2);
        vector.add(3);
        System.out.println("The Vector is :" + vector);

        Enumeration<Integer> elements = vector.elements();
        System.out.print("The values are : ");
        while(elements.hasMoreElements()) {
          System.out.print(elements.nextElement() + ",");
        }
    }
}

## Explanation 

In the code above:

* In lines 1 and 2, we import the `Vector` and `Enumeration` classes.

* In line 6, we create a new object for the `Vector` class with the name `vector`.

* In lines 7 to 9, we use the `add` method to add three elements `1,2,3` into the `vector` object.

* In line 12, we get the values present in the `vector` using the `elements()` method and store them in the `elements` variable. Then, we print the `elements` object by using the `while` loop, [hasMoreElements](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Enumeration.html#hasMoreElements--), and [nextElement](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Enumeration.html#nextElement--) methods.
