    Default Program not executing correctly

    I'm having issues with executing a program that I have written. The program simply gets a user to input values whereby trying to guess a random number. I get to finding the median and the middle number but the program won't calculate them both. I need to use a insertion sort to be able to execute the median, but for some reason the program wont even do middle and median.

    Could someone have a look at my code and see what I'm doing wrong please! ...
    public void findMiddleNumber()
        {
            middleNumber = test[( guesses / 2 )]; 
     
            calculateMedian();
        }
     
        public void calculateMedian()
        {
            System.out.println( "Before:" );
            System.out.println( sort ); // print unsorted array
     
            insertionSort();
     
            System.out.println( "After:" );
            System.out.println( sort ); //
     
     
            if (( size % 2 ) == 0 ) 
               // even
                median = ( sort[ size / 2 ] + sort[ size / 2 - 1 ]) / 2.0;
     
            else 
                median = sort[ size / 2 ];
     
            findGuessedNumbers();
        }
     
        public void insertionSort()
        {
     
            sort = new int[ size ];
     
            for ( int i = 0; i < size; i++)
                sort[ i ] = inputGuess;
     
            sort();
        }
     
        public void sort()
        {
            int insert;
     
            for( int next = 1; next < sort.length; next++)
            {
                insert = sort[ next ];
     
                int moveItem = next;
     
                while( moveItem > 0 && sort[ moveItem -1 ] > insert )
                {
                    sort[ moveItem ] = sort[ moveItem -1 ];
                    moveItem--;
                }
                sort[ moveItem ] = insert;
     
            }   
     
        }
     
       public void findGuessedNumbers()
        {
            finalOutput();       
     
     
        }
     
        public void finalOutput()
        {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null,"Congratulations, your guess "
                + "is correct." + "\n\n1. Middle number from all guessed "
                + "numbers by the user is: " + middleNumber + "\n\r2. Median "
                + " value of all guessed numbers by the user is: " 
                + median + "\n\r3. A position (array index) of correctly "
                + "guessed number in sorted array is: " + positionIndex, 
                "Final Output", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE );  
     
        }
     
        public static void main( String [] args )
        {
            GuessGame application = new GuessGame();
     
     
     
            application.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
     
        }        
     
        class GuessHandler implements ActionListener
        {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent event )
            {
                inputGuess = Integer.parseInt( guessInput.getText() );
                test[guesses] = inputGuess; 
                processGuessedNumber( inputGuess );
                guesses++;
     
     
     
     
            }
        }   
    }

    Its not criticism, it is help...I do recommend reading the last link I provided in post #2, as it might help you understand the point of linking to crossposts.

    I understand your post on the 'cross posting' point ... and if i could i would have done it correctly in the first place ... and only posted once ... as for the stackoverflow, i have aready been in talks with the members from stack about my coding as they see that as a beginners level and should not have been posted on their site.
