What is a vector?
A vector is a dynamic array of numbers, commonly used in math and physics to describe spatial coordinates. For example, the two-dimensional vector (2.45, 1.28) expresses the location of a point in two-dimensional space:
In machine learning, vectors represent the features of a specific data point. For instance, in a flower dataset that includes petal length and width, each flower can be depicted as a two-dimensional vector.
