    Re: accessing elemnts in a array

    its ok no probs it happens to every one sometimes.....

    ok guys here is my answer which i have given in one of my interview... but the interviewer was not satisfied he was asking me if there were any direct funtions to do the same.

    step one
    sort the array in the ascending order

    step two
    obtain the first and last values to variables
    $low = $a[0];
    $high = $#a;

    step three
    add the first and last element and divide by 2 and obtain the int() value of the result
    $mid = int(($low + $high)/2);

    step four
    $a[$mid] is the middle element of the array....

    anyways it would be helpful if any one can give me any other answers or any reference for the same..

    thanks in advance

    Re: accessing elemnts in a array

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;

    my @array=qw(hello World Show must go on);

    my $count=scalar @array;
    print "\n Count :$count";

    print "\n $array[($count/2)]";

    exit;

    Ans is:
    Count :6
    Show

    Hi
    you can do the same thing by this way also

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;

    my @array=qw(hello World Show must go on);

    print "\n $array[(($#array+1)/2)]";

    exit;

    We can also use like this,
    print $array[(scalar @array)/2];
