How do we solve exercice 26.4 the middle element?

Question

3rd Section, following List function lesson
I have to find the middle element Using len()
What I did:

items=[1,2,3,8,5,4,7]
long=len(items)
middle=long//2
index=items[middle]
print(index)

Cant debug

Answer 1

You need to print index as output. Not actual value. So print middle variable

Answer 3

list=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
print('My list is: ',list)
n=len(list)
if(not n%2==0):
p=n//2
p=int(p)
print('Items entered in list are odd')
print('Middle element is: ',list[p])
else:
q=int(n/2)
r=list[q]
s=list[q-1]
avg=(r+s)/2
print('Items entered in list are even')
print('Average of numbers is: ',avg)

in this program if items in list are odd then it returns the middle element and if items in list are even then it returns the average value of two elements
