        // Creating an empty Vector
        Vector<String> vec_tor = new Vector<String>();
  
        // Use add() method to add elements into the Vector
        vec_tor.add("Welcome");
        vec_tor.add("To");
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
        vec_tor.add("4");
        vec_tor.add("Geeks");
  
        // Displaying the Vector
        System.out.println("Vector: " + vec_tor);
  
        // Displaying the first element
        System.out.println("The first element is: "
                           + vec_tor.firstElement());
    }
