You would have to make sure there is a way to work around decimal points in
the division. Also, I would try
Does anyone know how to assign a certain numerical range to a variable, and
then choose the number that is the middle of that range? For example, I want
to assign the variable X a range between 1 and 50, and then I want to have
the middle of that range (25) return with some command when I call it

You could start with an anonymous function using the lambda operator, such as:
mid_range = lambda x: x[len(x) // 2]
Note: If you use len(x) / 2 in python 3.x you will get a TypeError because the
division operator / returns a float.
Thanks for that Donald!
