+A *hash map* allows you to associate a value with a particular key.

-Rust’s standard library includes a number of very useful data
-structures called collections. Most other data types represent one
-specific value, but collections can contain multiple values. Unlike
-the built-in array and tuple types, the data these collections point
-to is stored on the heap, which means the amount of data does not need
-to be known at compile time and can grow or shrink as the program
-runs.
-
-This exercise will get you familiar with two fundamental data
-structures that are used very often in Rust programs:
-
-* A *vector* allows you to store a variable number of values next to
-  each other.
-* A *hash map* allows you to associate a value with a particular key.
-  You may also know this by the names [*unordered map* in C++](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/unordered_map), 
-  [*dictionary* in Python](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries) or an *associative array* in other languages.
+This is the other data structure that we've been talking about before, when
+talking about Vecs.

+# Vectors
+
+Vectors are one of the most-used Rust data structures. In other programming
+languages, they'd simply be called Arrays, but since Rust operates on a
+bit of a lower level, an array in Rust is stored on the stack (meaning it
+can't grow or shrink, and the size needs to be known at compile time),
+and a Vector is stored in the heap (where these restrictions do not apply).
+
+Vectors are a bit of a later chapter in the book, but we think that they're
+useful enough to talk about them a bit earlier. We shall be talking about
+the other useful data structure, hash maps, later.
