Median - Calculate Median of 3 Inputs Algorithm

The Median subject returns the median of three user specified input numbers. It is based on the "mid" program in Dr. James A. Jones' Ph.D. dissertation from Georgia Institue of Technology published in 2008.

This particular program version is annotated with new assertions that check correctness of the median algorithm. These assertions can simply be used as runtime checks for test executions as demonstrated by the three given tests or be utilized in the evaluation of assertion-driven techniques, e.g., as in Yang[Yang1] et al.'s ICSE 2014 paper on iProperty.

To execute the program simply invoke JUnit to run the example test cases or directly invoke the median method from another Java method.
