Description

This function gives the sum of the squares of the arguments.
In $SUMSQ()$ , Parameters are any real numbers.
This function is finding the squares of the numbers and it is adding all the numbers together. Instead of numbers, we can use the single array or a reference to an array.
This function is calculated by: $n_{1}^{2}+n_{2}^{2}+n_{3}^{2}+....$ ,where $n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}...$ are set of parameters.
The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array, constants or references that contain numbers.
Suppose the array contains text,logical values or empty cells, like that values are not considered.
Also numbers,logical values and text representations of numbers when we entering directly in to the list of the arguments then it is countable.
This function will give the result as error when

   1. Any one of the argument is non-numeric or not a real number. 
   2. The arguments containing the error values or text that cannot be translated in to numbers.
