I have a summation function q[i]*f[j] which runs over i and j of same length with different limits. Following I provided an example, where q is in list form:

q={2,7,11};

and f[j] runs over -1, 0 and 1. The output of this summation function should be:

ouptput= 2*f[-1]+7*f[0]+11*f[1];

So far, I have been able to iterate f[j] over j and using Sum to add, as following:

In: Sum[f[j], {j, -1, 1}]
Out: f[-1] + f[0] + f[1]

But how to iterate q[i] values provided in listform above and multiply to f[j] finnaly get following:

ouptput= q[[1]]*f[-1]+q[[2]]*f[0]+q[[3]]*f[1];

thanks in advance.

use a vector product:

q = {2, 7, 11};
jval = Range[-1, 1];

q . (f /@ jval)
(*    2 f[-1] + 7 f[0] + 11 f[1]    *)
