Hi, 

Can someone please highlight how '$' is making the difference in the execution of this function. With $ in place the function runs fine but without $ for large input values the function overflows the stack.

--------

s mp 1 = 4

s mp n = ((s mp $ n-1)^2-2) `mod` mp

--------

I cannot understand the difference between

(s mp $ n-1) and (s mp n-1)

Thanks,
