/**
* Computes the median value of a sorted strided array.
*
* @param {PositiveInteger} N - number of indexed elements
* @param {NumericArray} x - sorted input array
* @param {integer} stride - stride length
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} offset - starting index
* @returns {number} median value
*
* @example
* var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
*
* var x = [ 2.0, -3.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
* var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
*
* var v = mediansorted( N, x, 2, 1 );
* // returns 0.0
