The piece of code should be read in InputForm
Sum[eigenfunctionsort[n, j][[m + 1]] * Exp[2 *\[Pi] *I *m *x /dp],
{m, -10, 10}]
In FullForm, eigenfunctionsort[n, j][[m + 1]] means
Part[eigenfunctionsort[n, j],m+1],
the m+1-component of the vector of eigenfunctions probably with quantum
numbers n and j.
