     50 ## Usage
     51 
     52 ```javascript
     53 var median = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/discrete-uniform/median' );
     54 ```
     55 
     56 #### median( a, b )
     57 
     58 Returns the [median][median] of a [discrete uniform][discrete-uniform-distribution] distribution with parameters `a` (minimum support) and `b` (maximum support).
     59 
     60 ```javascript
     61 var v = median( 0, 1 );
     62 // returns 0.5
     63 
     64 v = median( 4, 12 );
     65 // returns 8.0
     66 
     67 v = median( 2, 8 );
     68 // returns 5.0
     69 ```
     70 
     71 If `a` or `b` is not an integer value, the function returns `NaN`.
     72 
     73 ```javascript
     74 var v = median( 0.1, 2 );
     75 // returns NaN
     76 
     77 v = median( 0, 2.2 );
     78 // returns NaN
     79 
     80 v = median( NaN, 2 );
     81 // returns NaN
     82 
     83 v = median( 2, NaN );
     84 // returns NaN
     85 ```
     86 
     87 If provided `a > b`, the function returns `NaN`.
     88 
     89 ```javascript
     90 var y = median( 3, 2 );
     91 // returns NaN
     92 
     93 y = median( -1, -2 );
     94 // returns NaN
     95 ```
