I've tried the if function? Its just defining when something is even or odd?
R's help system might be useful. www.rseek.org might be useful. You haven't accomplished the second part of my response, and this isn't a homework help list, so you'll need to do your own work from here. Sarah

If you can convince the list that this isn't homework, you might get more help. Sarah On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 7:15 AM, ?<elliot.welch at virgin.net> wrote:
Hi just a quick question in which I must use the "function and return" part of R. If I was asked to define a function called "median" where the function has a single argument x and returns the median value of a vector. How would I go about saying the median = element x in terms of n (say (n + 1)/2 or whatever it would be) if there is an even amount of elements, or x in terms of n (with a different way of saying how many n) if there is an odd amount of elements? Much appreciated
