Writing a vector function, find median without using median()

2 views (last 30 days)
Write a function to calculate the median of a vector of numbers. Your function should work whether a column vector or row vector is passed as the actual parameter. Do not use the built-in function median() rather sort your vector and then find the middle value. Remember that if your vector has an even number of elements, then the median is the arithmetic mean of the middle two values. You may want to look at the reshape() function or review how to transpose a matrix.

And it seems like sok sim does not care about comments.

I struggle to resist the temptation to provide correct but incomprehensible answers that prove it can be done but which any teacher would fail as being obviously copied.
