Median Tracker

You need to keep track of the median of a stream of integers. Implement a program that takes a series of integers as input (one per line) and returns the current median after each integer. You should manage the stream efficiently using a heap data structure. Input ends when a line with 'END' is encountered. Output should be the median in float format to one decimal place. Example: Input: 1 5 2 END Output: 1.0 3.0 2.0
