Answer to Question #316824 in Python for MEDIAN2

Question

Median

given a list of integers,write a program to print the mean,median and mode 

median - the mid point value in the sorted list.

input 

the input will be a single line of containing space-separated integers.

output

the second line of output should contain the median, round off the value to 2 decimal places.

median should be a float value when there are even number of elements, otherwise should be an integer value.

see sample input/output for the output format

explanation 

for example, if the given list of integers are 

2 6 3 8 12 2 9 10 3 4

the average of all the numbers is 4.67.

after sorting the array,

1 2 2 3 3 4 6 8 9 10 12

as the length of the list is an odd number, the median will be middle numbers in the sorted list.so the median will be 4

so the output should be

Median: 4

Answer 1

def median(L):
    L.sort()
    n = len(L)
    if n%2 == 1:
        res = L[n//2]
    else:
        res = (L[n//2-1] + L[n//2]) / 2
    return res


def main():
    line = input()
    L = [int(s) for s in line.split()]
    m = median(L[:])
    if type(m) is int:
        print(m)
    else:
        print(f'{m:.2f}')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
