I guess the point is what they think a vector is. I guess they think it like this (in R):

v<-c(1:3)

typeof(v)
length(v)

min(v)
max(v)
median(v)
mean(v)
append(v, 4)

# shuffle(v)
# sort (v)

This yields in an interactive R session:

[1] "integer"
[1] 3
[1] 1
[1] 3
[1] 2
[1] 2
[1] 1 2 3 4

Now the kids are forced to write down such stuff in German Pseudocode - with Umlauts. As we are in Germany. No kidding. Plus some UML diagrams. Just to come back to the roots. Or the original question. Now you can guess the next step? Best regards, Karl.
