🐞🔧 Code Challenge
Here is a slightly janky MedianFinder Python class. It has a few logic hiccups and issues. Can you fix it?
import heapq
class MedianFinder:
def __init__(self):
self.low = [] # Max heap for the lower half
self.high = [] # Min heap for the upper half
def addNum(self, num):
heapq.heappush(self.low, -num)
if self.low and self.high and (-self.low[0] > self.high[0]):
heapq.heappush(self.high, -heapq.heappop(self.low))
if len(self.low) > len(self.high) + 1:
heapq.heappush(self.high, -heapq.heappop(self.low))
if len(self.high) > len(self.low):
heapq.heappush(self.low, -heapq.heappop(self.high))
def findMedian(self):
if len(self.low) > len(self.high):
return -self.low[0]
else:
return (self.high[0] - self.low[0]) / 2
# Example usage
medianFinder = MedianFinder()
medianFinder.addNum(1)
medianFinder.addNum(2)
print(medianFinder.findMedian()) # Output should be 1.5
medianFinder.addNum(3)
print(medianFinder.findMedian()) # Output should be 2
