'round these parts the term 'median' has widely accepted usage. It is
pretty obvious that the given function was intended to compute this
median and further more how it was going about doing so. For
production code I'd want some tests (which would have caught the
errors you noted) and a contract. I'm not too hung up on a purpose
statement for something so simple. But the question was about the
style and structure of the code as given, for which I responding that
it is indeed idiomatic and clear.
