What do you mean by complex.

Your meaning is not clear, D[x_,n] defines a function for a fixed
variable n, I think you meant D[x_,n_]. Secondly is D supposed to
have side effects? What is the purpose of assigning its value to
itself? Third, s only has value within the Do loop, do you mean to
return D[x,n]? Fourth, why clear D? In short the pseudocode raises
more questions than one could answer.
