R makes it easy to see what is being done:

function (x, na.rm = TRUE)
{
xna <- is.na(x)
if (any(xna)) {
if (na.rm)
x <- x[!xna]
else return(rep.int(NA, 5))
}
x <- sort(x)
n <- length(x)
if (n == 0)
rep.int(NA, 5)
else {
n4 <- floor((n + 3)/2)/2
d <- c(1, n4, (n + 1)/2, n + 1 - n4, n)
0.5 * (x[floor(d)] + x[ceiling(d)])
}
}
