Comments
If expr is a scalar, the result is that value.
If expr is a vector or matrix with an odd number of elements, the result is a scalar that is the element at the center of the ordered vector (element (N+1)/2, where N is the number of elements).
If expr is a vector or matrix with an even number of elements, the result is a scalar that is the average value of the two elements closest to the center of the ordered vector (elements N/2 and (N+1)/2, where N is the number of elements).
