class Entry

  String name;

  // constructor
  Entry( String n, String num )

Vectors are especially convenient when you want to maintain a list of your own object types.

Since all classes, even those of your own invention, descend from the Object class, a Vector can be used with objects of any type.

For example say that you wanted an application that maintained a phone book. Each entry in the phone book will contain a name and a number, along with various methods.
