Question No.25.3 : finding mid-element in python - not successful. What's the problem in my code?

Question

My Answer:
items = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14]

#your code goes here

length = len(items)
mn = length // 2
midEle = items[mn]
print(midEle)

Answer 1

No Slick that's not the point.
I tryed it out.
The point is, that it is not ask for the value of the mid position!
Only the position/Index is asked.
In the example prog here above, print(mn) is the solution.

Answer 2

Even this doesn't work out:
length = len(items)
mn = length // 2
mn2 = mn+1
midEle = items[mn2]
print(midEle)

But in list, as it starts from 0, 3 is suppossed to be the mid element right?

Answer 3

Thank you very much Coding Cat.
Now I got it.

Answer 4

7 elements
you divide 7 by 2. In hard division that's 3.
4 is the middle element, not 3.

I suggest the same code, but you set 'nm' to (length // 2) + 1
