How to create a recursive function?

I am just new to Java script. Can you help to write a recursive function:

threeToThe(n) that computes pow(3,n). For example threeToThe(2) would return 9?

Hi ,

It may solve ur problem

if n =1 we have to return 3 and until we make n as 1 we have to call recursively that function and mutiply with 3

  1.  
  2. <script type="text/javascript">
  3.  
  4.     function threepow(n)  
  5.     {    
  6.     if(n == 1)
  7.     return 3;
  8.     else    
  9.     return (3*threepow(n-1));      
  10.  
  11.     }
