[R] Break during the recursion?

Hi,

Is it possible to break using if-condition during the recursive function?

Here is a function which almost works. It is for inorder-tree-walk. 

iotw<-function(v,i,Stack,Indexes) # input: a vector and the first index (1), Stack=c(), Indexes=c().
{
	print(Indexes)
	# if (sum(i)==0) break # Doesn't work...
	
	if (is.na(v[i])==FALSE & is.null(unlist(v[i]))==FALSE)
		{Stack=c(i,Stack); i=2*i; iotw(v,i,Stack,Indexes)}
	Indexes=c(Indexes,Stack[1])
	Stack=pop.stack(Stack)$vector
	Indexes=c(Indexes,Stack[1])
	i=2*Stack[1]+1
	Stack=pop.stack(Stack)$vector
	iotw(v,i,Stack,Indexes)
}


> v=c(`-`,`+`,1,`^`,`^`,NA,NA,"X",3,"X",2)
> Stack=c()
> Indexes=c()

> iotw(v,1,Stack,Indexes)
