Help, secant method by recursion

I'm trying to write a function that uses the secant method to find a root of the function.
I'm required to write both the iterative and recursive method.
So far, I finished writing the iterative but cannot finish the recursive.
The iterative is
function root = secanti(n, x0, x1, err)
while true
xi = (x0 * feval(n,x1) - x1 * feval(n, x0))/(feval(n,x1) - feval(n,x0));
if abs((xi-x1)/xi) < err
root = xi;
break
else
x0 = x1;
x1 = xi;
end
end
end
The one I have for recursive so far is
function xi = secantr(n, x0, x1, err)
xi = (x0 * feval(n,x1) - x1 * feval(n, x0))/(feval(n,x1) - feval(n,x0));
if abs((xi-x1)/xi) < err
return
end
x0 = x1;
x1 = xi;
secantr(n,x0,x1,err)
end
The recursive function keeps giving a different value from the iterative.
Is there any way to improve my recursive function? Thank you

All you need is to catch the output:
xi = secantr(n,x0,x1,err);
