Tuple cannot be interpreted as an integer error, how to cycle through the numbers in a tuple?

def sum_all(*num):
for number in range(num):
    sq = pow(number,2)
    total = sum(sq)
return total

So trying to write a function that can take arbitrary arguments and return the sum of the squares of the argument…not sure how to cycle through the integer values in a tuple (also if the arguments were floats with decimals how would the code change?)

>Solution :

When passing arguments using * the argument is a tuple, which contains all the values. I’ve changed the name to be pluralized.

def sum_all(*nums):
    total = 0
    for number in nums:
        sq = pow(number,2)
        total += sq
    return total

or more concisely

def sum_all(*nums):
    return sum(number**2 for number in nums)
