Mean Absolute Deviation from Median

Problem

The median absolute deviation about the median is mean_i |x_i - median(x)|, which is less sensitive to outliers than the mean absolute deviation about the mean.

Given the values, return this quantity.

Hint

Find the median first, then average absolute deviations from it.
