Instructions

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.

It is typical to call #to_enum when defining methods for a generic Enumerable, in case no block is passed.

Here is an additional test you could add:

def test_accumulate_when_block_is_deferred
  skip
  accumulate_enumerator = [1, 2, 3].accumulate
  accumulated_result = accumulate_enumerator.map do |number|
    number * number
  end
  assert_equal [1, 4, 9], accumulated_result
end
