object MedianMatrix {

  def findMedianUnsortedMatrix(matrix: Array[Array[Int]]): Double = {
    val elements = matrix.flatten

    // Sort the elements
    val sorted = elements.sorted

    // Calculate median
    val n = sorted.length
    if (n % 2 == 1) {
      // Odd number of elements: return middle element
      sorted(n / 2).toDouble
    } else {
      // Even number of elements: return average of two middle elements
      (sorted(n / 2 - 1) + sorted(n / 2)) / 2.0
    }
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val matrix = Array(
      Array(5, 8, 9, 10),
      Array(1, 4, 6, 13),
      Array(7, 3, 0, 18),
      Array(6, 8, 9, 20)
    )

    val median = findMedianUnsortedMatrix(matrix)
    println(f"Median of the matrix is: $median%.1f")
  }
}


/*
run:

Median of the matrix is: 7.5

*/
