Write a Python program to check if a given element occurs at least n times in a list

def check_element_in_list(lst, x, n):
    t = 0
    try:
        for _ in range(n):
            t = lst.index(x, t) + 1
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False

nums = [0,1,3,5,0,3,4,5,0,8,0,3,6,0,3,1,1,0]
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
x = 3
n = 4
print("\nCheck if",x,"occurs at least",n,"times in a list:")
print(check_element_in_list(nums,x,n))
x = 0
n = 5
print("\nCheck if",x,"occurs at least",n,"times in a list:")
print(check_element_in_list(nums,x,n))
x = 8
n = 3
print("\nCheck if",x,"occurs at least",n,"times in a list:")
print(check_element_in_list(nums,x,n))
