Java > Array-1 > makeMiddle (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given an array of ints of even length, return a new array length 2 containing the middle two elements from the original array. The original array will be length 2 or more.

makeMiddle({1, 2, 3, 4}) → {2, 3}
makeMiddle({7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9}) → {2, 3}
makeMiddle({1, 2}) → {1, 2}

Solution:

public int[] makeMiddle(int[] nums) {
  int[] myArray = new int[2];
  int middle = nums.length / 2;
  
  myArray[0] = nums[middle - 1];
  myArray[1] = nums[middle];
  
  return myArray;
}
