I am a long-time APL lover and new student of J, who has yet to learn the
language's more elegant idioms. However, if "list" is defined as
a sorted one-dimensional vector, the following clumsily-written function
seems to work as stipulated in the problem:
*median =: 3 : '-:+/(<.-:(#y)-0 0.5){y'*
I enjoy this forum and welcome any improvements or tips
