Is displacement a scalar quantity?

Scalar quantity: It has only magnitude eg, length, area, speed mass, density, pressure, temperature, work, energy  etc

Vector quantity: It has both magnitude and direction eg, displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, drag, etc

Therefore, displacement is not a scalar but a vector quantity, because it has both magnitude and direction.
