def median(x):
    x = sorted(x)
    listlength = len(x) 
    num = listlength//2
    if listlength%2==0:
        middlenum = (x[num]+x[num-1])/2
    else:
        middlenum = x[num]
    return middlenum

sorted()函数对此非常有用。使用排序函数 要对列表排序，只需返回中间值(或两个中间值的平均值) 如果列表包含偶数个元素，则为。

def median(lst):
    sortedLst = sorted(lst)
    lstLen = len(lst)
    index = (lstLen - 1) // 2
   
    if (lstLen % 2):
        return sortedLst[index]
    else:
        return (sortedLst[index] + sortedLst[index + 1])/2.0

中值函数

def median(midlist):
    midlist.sort()
    lens = len(midlist)
    if lens % 2 != 0: 
        midl = (lens / 2)
        res = midlist[midl]
    else:
        odd = (lens / 2) -1
        ev = (lens / 2) 
        res = float(midlist[odd] + midlist[ev]) / float(2)
    return res

试试这个

import math
def find_median(arr):
    if len(arr)%2==1:
        med=math.ceil(len(arr)/2)-1
        return arr[med]
    else:
        return -1
print(find_median([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]))

def median(array):
    """Calculate median of the given list.
    """
    # TODO: use statistics.median in Python 3
    array = sorted(array)
    half, odd = divmod(len(array), 2)
    if odd:
        return array[half]
    return (array[half - 1] + array[half]) / 2.0

这很简单;

def median(alist):
    #to find median you will have to sort the list first
    sList = sorted(alist)
    first = 0
    last = len(sList)-1
    midpoint = (first + last)//2
    return midpoint

你可以这样使用返回值median = median(anyList)
