58.Median of an Array | Sort & Find Middle (Python)

In this video we find the median of an unsorted array in Python — a core statistics & DSA building block. I’ll show a simple, beginner-friendly approach (sort + pick middle), explain odd vs even cases, and walk a worked example. What you’ll learn: ✅ Why we sort the array first ✅ How to pick the middle element for odd length arrays ✅ How to average the two middle elements for even length arrays ✅ Time & space complexity Example explained in the video: Input: [7, 1, 3, 5, 2] → Sorted: [1,2,3,5,7] → Median = 3 Input: [4, 2, 6, 8] → Sorted: [2,4,6,8] → Median = (4 + 6)/2 = 5.0 #Python #DSA #Median #Algorithms #LearnPython #CodingInterview #DataStructures #ArrayProblems #PythonDSA
