Difference between vector and list

[webmasterpdx]

I just found a definition of vector in the user manual. So vectors are not lists, but are simply one dimensional matrices.....here is the user manual extract...

Vectors are one-dimensional arrays. They are composed of just one row. A vector is represented by single brackets; for example, [1 2 3]. A vector can be a real number vector, or a complex number vector such as [1+2*i 7+3*i].
