A vector is a set of variables that are linked together because they represent similar things. The purpose of the vector is to provide a single name that can be used to access any of the entire set of variables.

By using a loop, we only need to define the transformation once, and can then tell the computer to do the same thing to all the variables using a loop. If you have computer-programming experience then you have likely come across these ideas before. However, what SPSS calls
