Print the middle integer from a list of sorted numbers

Given a sorted list of integers, output the middle integer. Assume the number of integers is always odd

Input: 2 3 4 8 11

Output: 4

This is what I have so far

inputs=[]

num_inputs=int(input())

if(num_inputs>9):
    print("Too many inputs")
else:
    print(num_inputs)
    for i in range(num_inputs):
        inputs.append(input())
    print(inputs)
    middle_position=int(num_inputs/2)
    print(inputs[middle_position])

Your input is only one line of data.

To read that into a list, you would use

inputs = list(map(int, input().split()))

Or just inputs = input.split() since you don't need ints

Then you would just need to check len(inputs) > 9 and get inputs[len(inputs) // 2]. No loops
