--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.

assert.strictEqual(weirdRecurrenceRelation(), 808981553);
