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.
Keep your hands off that collect/map/fmap/whatchamacallit functionality provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead.
Lisp specific: it's perfectly fine to use MAPCAR or the equivalent,
as this is idiomatic Lisp, not a library function.
Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the exercism/python/<exerciseName> directory.
For example, if you're submitting bob.py for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py.
For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting, please see the help page.

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
