[R] summation sign

[sffarooqi]

Hi all,
I have a very quick question on how to use the summation sign in R for the
function.
Here´s a basic example: the function is sum(i=1 to 5)log(1-xi^2)
Id be grateful if someone knows how to do this without writing it out 5
times - I am looking sth along the lines of  the following:

computeR <- function(x)
  {
    return (-sum(log(1-x^2))
}^
thank you vm in advance!
