# --description--
The function $f$ is defined for all positive integers as follows:
$$\begin{align}
& f(1) = 1 \\\\
& f(3) = 3 \\\\
& f(2n) = f(n) \\\\
& f(4n + 1) = 2f(2n + 1) - f(n) \\\\
& f(4n + 3) = 3f(2n + 1) - 2f(n)
\end{align}$$
The function $S(n)$ is defined as $\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(i)$.
$S(8) = 22$ and $S(100) = 3604$.
Find $S(3^{37})$. Give the last 9 digits of your answer.
# --hints--
`weirdRecurrenceRelation()` should return `808981553`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(weirdRecurrenceRelation(), 808981553);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function weirdRecurrenceRelation() {
return true;
}
weirdRecurrenceRelation();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
