Recursive function in java script

[abhishekbrave]

 
function getsubroles(rolename1) 
{
var roles1=ctx.getAdminRoleProvider().findAdminRole(rolename1);
var roles2=roles1.getAttributeMultiValue("CUSTOM10").iterator();
if(roles2.hasNext())
{
 
 while(roles2.hasNext())
 {
 
   j++;
   subrolesArr1[j]=roles2.next();
   getsubroles(subroles[j]);
 
}
 
}
 
else return;
 
}
 

I have written the above for a function to be called recursievly.
But I am not sure about the recursion of the function.
My confustion is on returning the functions .
Do i need to write only return to recurse the function or I have to write return <function name()>.

No! You need not write return <function_name> at the calling place.
Your calling portion of programme is correct.

Thanks and regards,

does your example work for you?

there are different ways of doing it, depending on your style.

check out this wiki article for more info.

for instance:

 
function fact( n)
{
   if (n == 1) return 1;
 return n * fact(n - 1);
}
 
alert(fact(6))
