    If you have N items, the middle item is usually defined as item at index N/2 (0-based).

    10 items
    0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
              |
              5
    
    13 items
    0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2
                |
                6
    

    Generally, if you need to find the middle of items between index low (inclusive) and high (exclusive), it’s mathematically int mid = (low + high) / 2. But due to arithmetic overflow in limited-precision integer, the proper formula is int mid = (low + high) >>> 1;
