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 ..
