# 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, given the collection of numbers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the operation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- square a number
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Elixir specific: it's perfectly fine to use `Enum.reduce` or
|
||
|
|
`Enumerable.reduce`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lisp specific: it's perfectly fine to use `MAPCAR` or the equivalent,
|
||
|
|
as this is idiomatic Lisp, not a library function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Getting started
|
||
|
|
First install lua and [luarocks][2] using [homebrew][1]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ brew install lua
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then install [busted][3] testing framework for lua
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ luarocks install busted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run your test
