MATLAB: Recursive function to calculate Max number.

recursive function

function mx=recursive_max(v)
if numel(v)==1
    mx=v;
end
if numel(v)>1
    mx= recursive_max(1);
end
this much i've got so far.
Please help with this code.

Urmish Haribhakti's general approach is quite good, with a few small changes it will work correctly:
function x = recmax(v)
if numel(v)<=1
    x = v;
else
    x = recmax(v(2:end));
    if v(1)>x
        x = v(1);
    end
end
end
And tested:
>> recmax([28,2,6,1,999,8])
ans =  999
