Step 1 :Divide $n$ by 2: $\frac{n}{2}$
Step 2 :Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from the result: $\frac{n}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$
Step 3 :Take half of that result: $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{n}{2} - \frac{1}{2})$
Step 4 :Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ again: $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{n}{2} - \frac{1}{2}) - \frac{1}{2}$
Step 5 :Simplify the expression: $\frac{1}{4}n - \frac{3}{4}$
Step 6 :\(\boxed{\frac{1}{4}n - \frac{3}{4}}\)
