function median(nums) {
    if (nums.length === 0) {
        return NaN;
    }
    const sorted = nums.slice().sort((a, b) => a - b);
    const middleIndex = Math.floor(sorted.length / 2);
    if (sorted.length % 2 === 0) {
        return (sorted[middleIndex - 1] + sorted[middleIndex]) / 2;
    }
    else {
        return sorted[middleIndex];
    }
}
