Research direction

Start with the v2 accumulate exercise and review the community solutions linked in the issue to identify the approaches and concepts involved. Record the complete concept list and explain why each concept is required in languages/purescript/reference/exercise-concepts/accumulate.md; the document is done when it covers the total set of concepts across the approaches.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Extract the list of concepts required to solve the v2 purescript exercise: accumulate. For each concept, describe why it is required to solve the exercise. Keep in mind that an exercise can have multiple approaches (you can find community solutions here: https://exercism.io/tracks/purescript/exercises/accumulate/solutions). The goal of this task is to help determine the total list of concepts that make up accumulate.

The list of concepts should be stored in the following document: languages/purescript/reference/exercise-concepts/accumulate.md. Use this link to create a PR to add this document.
