增加vector的容量，如果有必要，要保证增加后的容量由minCapacity给出的最小容量。如果vector当前的容量小于minCapacity，就通过对内部数组重新赋值一个更大的数组的方式来扩容。当capacityIncrement小于等于0时，新数组的大小是之前的2倍，大于0时新数组的大小等于旧数组的大小与capacityIncrement只和。如果增加后的数组容量仍然小于minCapacity，那么新数组的大小为minCapacity。（ensureCapacityHelper方法不加synchronized是因为ensureCapacity方法加了synchronized，而且ensureCapacityHelper方法是在ensureCapacity内部调用的，因而没必要增加额外的synchronized）
而设置MAX_ARRAY_SIZE是因为，vector内部元素的数量elementCount和容量都是int型因而不能超出int的范围，而减8是因为某些VM里设有头结点，所以要留出这部分的空间。
hugeCapacity方法中判断minCapacity是否小于零则是因为负数减MAX_ARRAY_SIZE也可能大于0，例如
但是这里又为什么返回了Integer.MAX_VALUE呢（待解决）

setSize方法用来修改当前vector的大小，如果newSize大于当前元素数量elementCount那么调用ensureCapacityHelper方法进行扩容（此时没有经过ensureCapacity方法），当newSize小于elementCount时，将数组下标大于等于newSize的元素的值设为null，两种情况最后都要将elementCount大小改为newSize。

lastIndexOf方法类似indexOf方法，区别在于lastIndexOf方法从后向前查找，因而返回的是最后一次出现的下标，不存在仍然返回-1。

该方法用来修改指定index的值（注意，不能添加index >= elementCount时会抛出异常），该方法与List接口中的set方法功能一样，区别在于set方法参数顺序更接近数组的用法，此外set还会返回旧元素的值。

该方法通过将给定index（不包括index）后的所有有效元素前移的方式达到删除下标为index的元素的目的。
