Pair 2 elements in a list and make a conditional statement to see if the pairs are equal to each other
<p>So I have this homework assignment and seem to be stuck on this question.</p>

<p>write a function that takes, as an argument, a list called aList. It returns a Boolean True if the list contains three pairs of integers, and False otherwise.</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;threePairs([5, 6, 3, 2, 1, 4])
False

&gt;&gt;&gt;threePairs([1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2])
True
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried using indexes and I don't really know how to slice so I'm stuck in figuring out how I make those pairs equal to each other in the condition so it is True.</p>

<p>This is what I had previous to deleting it and trying again.</p>

<pre><code>def threePairs(aList):
    if [0] == [1] and [2] == [3] and [4] == [5]:
        return True
    else:
        return False
</code></pre>

<pre><code>def threepairs(aList):
    counter = 0
    for element in aList:
        if counter &gt;= 3:
            return True
        if element % 2 == 0:
            counter += 1
    return False
</code></pre>
