Median
Given N numbers, X1, X2, ... , XN, let us calculate the difference of every pair of numbers: ∣Xi - Xj∣ (1 ≤ i < j ≤ N). We can get C(N,2) differences through this work, and now your task is to find the median of the differences as quickly as you can!
Note in this problem, the median is defined as the (m/2)-th smallest number if m,the amount of the differences, is even. For example, you have to find the third smallest one in the case of m = 6.
Input
The input consists of several test cases.
In each test case, N will be given in the first line. Then N numbers are given, representing X1, X2, ... , XN, ( Xi ≤ 1,000,000,000 3 ≤ N ≤ 1,00,000 )
Output
For each test case, output the median in a separate line.
Sample Input
4
1 3 2 4
3
1 10 2
Sample Output
1
8
题意:一个数组每两个数相减取绝对值,求所有绝对值组成的数组的中数
题解:二分答案,判断小于等于mid的数是否大于所有绝对值个数的一半,记住查找时应用upper_bound
