 -- fixing precedence
--- Haskell has another function called `$`. This changes the precedence
--- so that everything to the left of it gets computed first and then applied
--- to everything on the right. You can use `$` (often in combination with `.`)
--- to get rid of a lot of parentheses:
+-- 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
+-- the expression on its right is applied as the parameter to the function on its left.
