+# 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.
+
+## Running the tests
+
+To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory.
+
+If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `--bench` and `--benchmem`
+flags:
+
+ go test -v --bench . --benchmem
+
+Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with
+different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
