While I'm not sure about revising the algorithm, you might be right about the definition - define it as "MEDIAN will return the value that WOULD be in the middle IF sorted" and then you won't force anyone to sort. I still think most people will, since median discovery by sorting is fast enough for most practical purposes, and it is much simpler (hence, but free) then more complicated code.
From the specification: "Note that the mathematical formulas define the correct mathematical result, and not the algorithm for calculation."
So it implicitly does what you say. Niklas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
