// Sum of Squares - Iterative For Loop
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Step 1: Define the input array
        int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        
        // Step 2: Initialize a variable to store the sum of squares
        long sumOfSquares = 0; // Use long to prevent overflow for larger sums
        
        // Step 3: Iterate through the array using a traditional for loop
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
            // Step 4: Square each element and add it to the sum
            sumOfSquares += (long) numbers[i] * numbers[i]; 
        }
        
        // Step 5: Print the result
        System.out.println("Array elements: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]");
        System.out.println("Sum of squares (Basic For Loop): " + sumOfSquares);
    }
