You can use algorithim for finding median in unsorted array.

 int medianofUnsortedArray(int a[], int low, int high, int rank){
        int l, h, pivot;
        int temp;
        pivot = l = low;
        h = high;
        if(l<=h){
                while(l<h){
                        while(a[l] <= a[pivot]) l++;
                        while(a[h] > a[pivot]) h--;
                        temp = a[h];
                        a[h] = a[l];
                        a[l] = temp;
                }
                temp = a[h];
                a[h] = a[pivot];
                a[pivot] = temp;
        }
        if(rank < h){
                medianofUnsortedArray(a,low,h-1,rank);
        }else if(rank > h){
                medianofUnsortedArray(a,h+1,high,rank);
        }else{
                return a[h];
        }
 }

/*
1.
   pivot = l
   a[piv]         if(a[pivot]>p[l])<------h
   |                                                     |
