def zara (L):
     '' 'list of str-> int

     Precondition: len (L)> 0
    
     Returns the number of words that constitute pairs of consecutive words of the same length.
    
     For example: in the list ["a", "yes", "case", "of", "not", "aha", "then", "very", "n", "tables"] the answer is 6 because
     the words of consecutive pairs of the same length "yes", "case", "not", "aha", "then", "very" are counted.
    
     For simplicity, you can assume that every 2 consecutive words of the same length are followed
     a word (or pairs of words) of different length (there are no 3 consecutive words of the same length), such as
     in the test examples below:

     >>> zara (["from", "very", "good", "big"])
     2
     >>> zara (["or", "is", "like", "this"])
     0
     >>> zara (["lions", "not", "case", "oh", "yes", "aha", "z"])
     4
     >>> zara (["a", "yes", "case", "of", "not", "aha", "then", "very", "n", "tables"])
     6
