In Computer Science algorithms play a big role in this discipline. What is an algorithm? Simplest way to put is, it’s a series of steps in order to solve a problem. Doesn’t necessarily have to be the most efficiently but thats what all computer scientists strive for, efficiency in order to solve problems within a feasible time frame.
Sometimes, for professors to get students understand the basics of come complex algorithms, we are presented with simple games in order to be able to understand why efficiency plays a big role. In other words, it might take us a long time to solve it once, but after that, it might take us a significantly shorter amount of time. (Or do they do this merely to help our ego?)
I introduce you to this very famous puzzle. Can you solve it? You simply need to cross the fox, sheep, and cabbage across the river but may only take one at a time across!

The vector is a simple data structure that allows you to store values with the same data type in one container.
Introduction
Without the use of a data structure, how would you store multiple variables? Let's say we wanted to store 5 names into strings. How would this be done?
string name1,name2,name3,name4,name5;
cin >> name1 >> name2 >> name3 >> name4 >> name5;
That looks a bit ugly doesn't it? What if we wanted to store the number of names the user wanted to input? That is where the vector comes in.
