Psuedo code to calculate the sum of squares of a given input of numbers

This program will help calculate the sum of squares of a given input of numbers

Input: a list of numbers Output: the sum of squares of the numbers

Psuedo code:

1. Initialize the sum of squares to 0
2. For each number in the list
3. Add the square of the number to the sum of squares
4. Return the sum of squares

Code:

def sum_of_squares(numbers):
    sum_of_squares = 0
    for number in numbers:
        sum_of_squares += number ** 2
    return sum_of_squares

function sum_of_squares Takes input of numbers Validate input If input is not a list of numbers Raise an error and ask for input again Else Continue calculate sum of squares (sum_of_squares += number ** 2) return sum_of_squares End function
