Array Min and Max in Halves | Dataford Interview Questions

Write code to find the minimum in the first half of an array and the maximum in the second half.

Implement find_half_extremes(nums). Return a two-element list containing the minimum value from the first half, followed by the maximum value from the second half. For odd-length arrays, the first half contains len(nums) // 2 elements and the second half contains the remaining elements.

Function signature: def find_half_extremes(nums):

Constraints

2 <= len(nums) <= 1000
nums contains integers
The array contains at least one element in each half

Function Signature

def find_half_extremes(nums):
