Как я могу напечатать или вернуть массив локальной переменной и mid_value_position из кода ниже?

Question

Алгоритм определения позиции числа в массиве

const = [ ]

Функция создается ниже

def searchFunction( ):

        array = [] 

        numbers_In_Array = int(input("how many numbers are in your array ? \n"))

        for x in range(numbers_In_Array):
            x = int(input("Type the array number : \n"))
            array.append(x)

        array.sort()

        const.append(array) # to copy the array into the empty array

        value =  int(input("Which number position you want to check : \n"))  # The number whose position is to be checked

        mid_value_position = (len(array) - 1) // 2 # the number in the middle of the array

        # new value created below #

        i = 0

        j = [] # New array

        outOfLimit = True

   **A loop inside the function**

        while  (mid_value_position < len(array)) and outOfLimit == False:

            length = len(array)

            if value > array[mid_value_position]:

                for x in range( mid_value_position + 1 , length):

                    j = []
                    j.append(x)
                    array = j

            elif value < array[mid_value_position] :

                for x in range( 0 , mid_value_position):
                    j = []
                    j.append(x)
                    array = j
            else:

                outOfLimit = True

            mid_value_position = (len(array) - 1) // 2

        print("The position of ", array , "in the array  is ", mid_value_position)
