// pseudo for u1_w2_c5.js
//
// write 3 functions to calculate the sum, mean and median of even and odd arrays


// create variable total and set equal to 0
//
// Sum
// create a function sum, that takes a single input as an argument.
// 
// reset total to 0 
// FOR loop i = 0, i< input.length, i++
// 	return total += input element i
// end FOR loop
//
// Mean
// create a function mean, that takes a single input as an argument
// 
// reset total to 0
// set total to the return of calling the sum function on input
// return total divided by the length of input
//
// Median
// create a function median that takes a single input as an argument
// 
// call sort on the input array
// create a variable half set it equal to the value of Math.floor given half the input length
// IF Loop
// 	given input length modulus = 1 
// 	return element half of input array
// ELSE
// 	return the result of taking the average of, half the input array and  half the input array + 1
// End IF Loop


// Reflections
// I was really happy to be the member assigned to do the pseudo for this challenge. Because I have very little experience with 
// pseudo, I could really use the practice. And it showed. My first attempt was very no bueno. 
// But with some council and a good bit of research I think my second attempt was far better. I defnitely struggled with
// the pseudo at first. I was too specific and my code outlay was too complicated. I really have to start thinking about
// whats the easiest way to do X. 
// I learned several good things about pseudo, proper styling and good logic being at the top of that list.
// I did wind up coding out the challenge myself before I finished re-writing the pseudo. 
// Just to make sure that I was good all around. As to the code I did finally have a small 'AHA' moment.
// I was interating through an array and adding the for incrementer instead of an array element to my totals. DUH! :+)

// Overall my group did well. Our final gist is all green so no complaints there. 
// I feel like we communicated well and no one person took too much time to complete their part.
