--- id: 635090f47eb6d9563a6fed05 title: Step 26 challengeType: 0 dashedName: step-26 --- # --description-- Now it is time to apply what you have learned to the `getMedian` function. Inside your `getMedian` function, check if the length of `array` is even. If it is, find the middle two numbers, calculate their mean, and return the result. If the length of `array` is odd, return the middle number. Make sure to work with the `sorted` array to find the middle numbers. Also if you need help, refer back to the previous few steps to see how to find the median for an array. # --hints-- Your `getMedian` function should return the mean of the middle two numbers if the array length is even. ```js assert.equal(getMedian([1,2,3,4,5,6]), 3.5); assert.equal(getMedian([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]), 5.5); ``` Your `getMedian` function should return the middle number if the array length is odd. ```js assert.equal(getMedian([1,2,3,4,5]), 3); assert.equal(getMedian([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]), 5); ``` # --seed-- ## --seed-contents-- ```html
Enter a list of comma-separated numbers.
The mean of a list of numbers is the average, calculated by taking the sum of all numbers and dividing that by the count of numbers.
Mean:
The median of a list of numbers is the number that appears in the middle of the list, when sorted from least to greatest.
Median:
The mode of a list of numbers is the number that appears most often in the list.
Mode:
The range of a list of numbers is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the list.
Range:
The variance of a list of numbers measures how far the values are from the mean, on average.
Variance:
The standard deviation of a list of numbers is the square root of the variance.
Standard Deviation:
