pseudo code

can someone tell me if this is correct please.

Write an algorithm that will display the sum for a given number of squares. In other words if the user enters the value 5, then the output should be 12 + 22 + 32 +42 + 52 = 55.

Sumsquare integer
Square integer
Count integer
Sumsquare := x
Square := y
Count := z
DoWhile count = ###
Count = Count + 1
Sumsquare = square + square
EndDo
Print\n “Sumsquare is”, Sumsquare

well i dont really know formal pseudocode, but in simple language:

declare 3 integer variables-- sum, limit, i (loop var.)

sum=0;
i=1;
input limit;

do while (i <=limit)
{
sum=sum+ i*i;
increment i by 1;
}

print sum

hey nova, given that we dont know what xyz and ### are i dont know. but both the algorithims given are identical in functionality so i assume it's correct =]

Cheers,
Jamey
