Why use jQuery? This can be done with simple enough plain JavaScript:
var horizontalCenter = Math.floor(window.innerWidth/2);
var verticalCener = Math.floor(window.innerHeight/2);
To use these, you may also have to append the units, px
to the variables.
Math.floor()
to force an integer value to the returned co-ordinates

Untested, but this makes sense:
var intWidth = $(window).innerWidth();
var intHeight = $(window).innerHeight();
var xCenter = intWidth / 2;
var yCenter = intHeight / 2;
alert("The center of the window is: " + xCenter + "x " + yCenter + "y");
