Looking for a solution with loops

Thanks. That would work. But I avoided using loops because the course hadn't introduced them yet.

So, previously you avoided using loops, but now you would like to do it whith two nested for loops? So let’s you learn the for loop and do what you intended.

I think it's stated above, but here you go: --- Question about the task Somehow average Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 16 --- Also I looked back in IntelliJ, and the directory name was `task0441`. Thanks and hope that helps!

I did it probably the way you did, by direct comparisons. But you ask an interesting question. What if, say, there were 25 numbers or 1025? Then direct comparisons wouldn't do. One thought is to obtain the complete list, sort, and pick the middle term. I can't remember if you have done sorts yet. You will or have already encountered sorts by nested loops. (If you haven't done it yet, you might check out "bubble sort" on the web -- you could do a mini one on 3 objects. And later you will find java methods that do the same.

I suggest that for even count of numbers like 1025 do not display anything. for odd count do as Tony Roy suggested i.e. 1. gather the numbers 2. sort them 3. pick the middle of them
