I don't think the OP is interested in complex numbers.  I think this
is a question about organizing loops.  But I can't tell for sure.

My guess is that l is one of the pairs in L, and that i is one of the
elements in l, or perhaps both in succession.  OP hints that "x is a
node that hosts i", but how that affects the right-hand side of the
equation defining the quantity to be computed, which is lost in the
history of this thread, is unclear.

There's a lesson here for the OP, varun7rs: If your initial query
had been clear and complete, you would have your answer by now.
