Median of an array of numbers | |
def median(array) | |
if array.length.even? | |
return (array[((array.length / 2) - 1)].to_f + array[array.length / 2].to_f) / 2 | |
else | |
return array[array.length / 2] | |
end | |
end | |
array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7] | |
puts array1.inspect | |
puts "Median is " + median(array1).to_s | |
array2 = [4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7] | |
puts array2.inspect | |
puts "Median is " + median(array2).to_s |
