Please use Python when answering this question:  Also could you please run a doctest for each solution in the output to make sure the code works and returns everything in the output.  Write a function numPairs that accepts two arguments, a target number and a list of numbers. The function then returns the count of pairs of numbers from the list that sum to the target number. In the first example the answer is 2 because the pairs (0,3) and (1,2) both sum to 3.

Also could you please run a doctest for each solution in the output to make sure the code works and returns everything in the output.

In the last example below, there are three 2’s, so there are three different pairs (2,2) so there are 5 pairs total that sum to 4.


output: 

>>> numPairs( 3, [0,1,2,3] )

 

>>> numPairs( 4, [0,1,2,3] )

1

 

>>> numPairs( 6, [0,1,2,3] )

0

 

>>>numPairs( 4, [0,1,2,3,4,2] )

>>> numPairs( 4, [0,1,2,3,4,2,2] )

5

 

>>> numPairs( 4, [0,1,2,3,4,2,2] )==5
