Given a sorted list of integers, output the middle integer. A negative number indicates the end of the input (the negative number is not a part of the sorted list). Assume the number of integers is always odd. Ex: If the input is: 2 3 4 8 11 -1 the output is:

5.17 LAB: Middle item

 

Given a sorted list of integers, output the middle integer. A negative number indicates the end of the input (the negative number is not a part of the sorted list). Assume the number of integers is always odd.

Ex: If the input is:

2 3 4 8 11 -1

the output is:

Middle item: 4

The maximum number of list values for any test case should not exceed 9. If exceeded, output "Too many numbers".

Hint: First read the data into an array. Then, based on the array's size, find the middle item.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
   const int NUM_ELEMENTS = 9;
   int userValues[NUM_ELEMENTS];    // Set of data specified by the user

   /* Type your code here. */

   return 0;
}
