Problem Statement

Write a function/procedure/subroutine that is called with an integer value and returns the middle three digits of the integer if possible or a clear indication of an error if this is not possible. Note: The order of the middle digits should be preserved. Your function should be tested with the following values; the first line should return valid answers, those of the second line should return clear indications of an error: Show your output on this page.

Let's start with the solution:

items::[123 12345 1234567 987654321 10001 -10001 -123 -100 100 -12345 1 2 -1 -10 2002 -2002 0]

mid3::{[d k];:[3>k::#$#x;"small":|0=k!2;"even";(-d)_(d::_(k%2)-1)_$#x]}
.p(mid3'items)
