Answer:
# the function check_list is defined
# it takes a parameter
def check_list(integers):
# length of half the list is assigned
# to length_of_half_list
length_of_half_list = len(integers) / 2
# zero is assigned to counter
# the counter keep track of
# elements whose value is less
# than the first element in the list
counter = 0
# the first element in list is
# assigned to index
index = integers[0]
# for loop that goes through the
# list and increment counter
# whenever an element is less
# than the index
for i in range(len(integers)):
if integers[i] < index:
counter += 1
# if statement that returns True
# if counter is greater than half
# length of the list else it will return
# False
if counter > length_of_half_list:
return True
else:
return False
# the function is called with a
# sample list and it returns True
print(check_list([5, 6, 6, 1, 9, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 7]))
Explanation:
The program is written is Python and is well commented.
The example use returns True because the number of elements with value less than 5 are more than half the length of the list.
