Simple problem : getting a median

-----------------------------------

I know this is tupid, but could somebody please remind me how to make a program where the user inputs a bunch of #s and the comp outputs the median of those #s? thanx

It will probably involve sorting an array of numbers then using the middle element of that array as your median.
If you don't know how to sort an array, try to work out your own method.  :)

P.S. Welcome to the site :)

put "Enter four numbers"
get med1
get med2
get med3
get med4
put (med1 + med2 + med3 + med4) / 4

btw, that one was mostly for finding the mode, its harder.
But median is basically just find the middle #, if even then add up the middle 2 and divide them by 2  
That ow I learnt it anywayz 8)  8)
