ArrayList vs Vector?
Tests whether you know Vector is a legacy class that synchronizes every method (making it thread-safe but slower even when uncontended), while ArrayList is unsynchronized by default -- and that Vector's per-method locking still doesn't make compound operations like check-then-add atomic, so it's rarely the right choice over ArrayList plus explicit synchronization or a concurrent collection.
