[Haskell-beginners] Pattern Matching

Hi there, The best way I can explain what I'd like to do is show an example, so here goes: same :: a -> a -> Bool same x x = True same _ _ = False Is there any way to do this in Haskell? The actual reason I'd like to do this is something slightly more complicated. I want to match against a list of elements, like so: foo [x,x,x] = ... Thanks for any help. - Alex
