# SAME predicate

The SAME predicate checks if all graph elements in a list are the same.

## Syntax

diagramsource

 same_predicate  

````
same_predicate ::= 
    SAME '(' element_variable_reference (',' element_variable_reference)+ ')'

````

## Parameters

### `element_variable_reference`

The reference to a variable that represents a graph element that is checked for equality.

## Examples

The following examples are based on the [example dataset](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/overview/example-dataset/).

### Check if all nodes are the same

````
'''
USE movie 
MATCH (v@Director{id:488})->(w@Movie), (n@Actor{id:9640})->(m@Movie), (u@`User`)->(p@Movie) 
WHERE SAME(w, m, p) 
RETURN w.name AS movie_name, v.name AS director, n.name AS actor 
LIMIT 3
'''

````

The preceding statement selects movies directed by a director, movies acted by an actor, and movies rated by users, and uses the SAME predicate to find movies that have all three types of relationships.
