SUMMARY
=======

The sample code below illustrates how to use the vector::size, vector::capacity,
and vector::push_back functions.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Required Header
---------------

      <vector>

Prototypes
----------

      size_type vector::capacity() const
      size_type vector::size() const
      void vector::push_back(const _TYPE& _X)

NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the
header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description
-----------

 - The sample declares an empty vector of integers.

 - It outputs the size and capacity of the vector.

 - It adds a single element to the vector, then outputs the size and capacity
   again.

Sample Code
-----------

   ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
   // 
   // Compile options needed: /GX
   // 
   // Capacity.cpp  - Illustrates vector::capacity and vector::size
   // 
   // Functions:
   // 
   //    vector::capacity  - Return # of elements for which memory has
   //                        been allocated.
   // 
   //    vector::size      - Return # of elements in the vector
   // 
   //    vector::push_back - Append (insert) an element to the end of a
   //                        vector, allocating memory for it if necessary.
