Descending Median

CHALLENGE
Difficulty: beginner+25 XP

**Description:** Given n integers, print them sorted in **descending** order, then print the median. For even n, the median is the lower of the two middle elements in the sorted-ascending order. **Input:** Line 1: n (1 <= n <= 10^5). Line 2: n integers (|a_i| <= 10^9). **Output:** Line 1: n sorted values descending, space-separated, no trailing space. Line 2: the median. **Example:** 4 / 3 1 4 2 -> line 1 4 3 2 1, line 2 2.
