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.
The Scala exercises assume an SBT project scheme. The exercise solution source should be placed within the exercise directory/src/main/scala. The exercise unit tests can be found within the exercise directory/src/test/scala.
To run the tests simply run the command sbt test in the exercise directory.
For more detailed info about the Scala track see the help page.
