Hi,

a) can you make postings that are syntacical correct or mean
    x=N[Total[-2Log[((n)(pdpd)/v[I])^v[i]]],10] realy I that is
    the complex unit Sqrt[-1]==I
    and your second input should be:
    x[i_] := N[Total[-2 Log[((n) (pdpd)/v[i])^v[i]]], 10]

b) Table[N[Total[-2 Log[((n) (pdpd)/v[i])^v[i]]], 10],{i,1,10000000}]
    will make a list with all you evaluated expressions and
    Table[x[i]=N[
               Total[-2 Log[((n) (pdpd)/v[i])^v[i]]],10],{i,1,10000000}]
    will store it in x[i] *and* in the ouput list ..

Regards
   Jens
