+-- Haskell has another operator called `$`. This operator applies a function 
+-- to a given parameter. In contrast to standard function application, which 
+-- has highest possible priority of 10 and is left-associative, the `$` operator 
+-- has priority of 0 and is right-associative. Such a low priority means that 
+-- all other operators on both sides of `$` will be evaluated before applying 
+-- the `$`.
