title: "Challenge 131: Pairwise"
challengeType: 29
dashedName: challenge-131

# --description--
Given an array of integers and a target number, find all pairs of elements in the array whose values add up to the target and return the sum of their indices.
For example, given `[2, 3, 4, 6, 8]` and `10`, you will find two valid pairs:
- `2` and `8` (2 + 8 = 10), whose indices are `0` and `4`
- `4` and `6` (4 + 6 = 10), whose indices are `2` and `3`
Add all the indices together to get a return value of `9`.
# --hints--
`pairwise([2, 3, 4, 6, 8], 10)` should return `9`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(pairwise([2, 3, 4, 6, 8], 10), 9)`)
}})
```
`pairwise([4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3], 7)` should return `15`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(pairwise([4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3], 7), 15)`)
}})
```
`pairwise([-30, -15, 5, 10, 15, -5, 20, -40], -20)` should return `22`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(pairwise([-30, -15, 5, 10, 15, -5, 20, -40], -20), 22)`)
}})
```
`pairwise([7, 9, 13, 19, 21, 6, 3, 1, 4, 8, 12, 22], 24)` should return `10`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(pairwise([7, 9, 13, 19, 21, 6, 3, 1, 4, 8, 12, 22], 24), 10)`)
}})
```
