# Accumulate Implement the `accumulate` operation, which, given a collection and an operation to perform on each element of the collection, returns a new collection containing the result of applying that operation to each element of the input collection. Given the collection of numbers: - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 And the operation: - square a number (`x => x * x`) Your code should be able to produce the collection of squares: - 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 Check out the test suite to see the expected function signature. ## Restrictions Keep your hands off that collect/map/fmap/whatchamacallit functionality provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead. * * * * For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page][]. [exercism help page]: http://exercism.io/languages/lfe To run the provided tests, you will need `make`. Open a terminal window and run the following from the exercise directory: ```sh make test ``` You should now be able to see the results of the test suite for the exercise. ## Source Conversation with James Edward Gray II [https://twitter.com/jeg2](https://twitter.com/jeg2) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
