find the median for a stream of integers. code example

Example: median in a stream of integers java

class MedianOfIntegerStream {

    private Queue<Integer> minHeap, maxHeap;

    MedianOfIntegerStream() {
        minHeap = new PriorityQueue<>();
        maxHeap = new PriorityQueue<>(Comparator.reverseOrder());
    }

    void add(int num) {
        if (!minHeap.isEmpty() && num < minHeap.peek()) {
            maxHeap.offer(num);
            if (maxHeap.size() > minHeap.size() + 1) {
                minHeap.offer(maxHeap.poll());
            }
        } else {
            minHeap.offer(num);
            if (minHeap.size() > maxHeap.size() + 1) {
                maxHeap.offer(minHeap.poll());
            }
        }
    }

    double getMedian() {
        int median;
        if (minHeap.size() < maxHeap.size()) {
            median = maxHeap.peek();
        } else if (minHeap.size() > maxHeap.size()) {
            median = minHeap.peek();
        } else {
            median = (minHeap.peek() + maxHeap.peek()) / 2; 
        }
        return median;
    }
}
