Find the Middle Element | Dataford Interview Questions

Find the mid element.

Implement find_mid(nums), where nums is a non-empty list of integers, and return its middle value. For an even-length list, return the second of the two middle elements. The expected solution should use linear time and constant extra space.

Constraints

1 <= len(nums) <= 100000
-10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
nums is non-empty
For even lengths, return the second middle element
