The question is, what is the fastest way of finding the midd

Answer 1

You can use array, like this:

private static long median(Integer i1, Integer i2, Integer i3) {

    List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(
            i1 == null ? 0 : i1,
            i2 == null ? 0 : i2,
            i3 == null ? 0 : i3);

    Collections.sort(list);
    return list.get(1);
}
