Recall that in the Towers of Hanoi problem we have three pegs numbered 1, 2 and 3, and on one peg we have a stack of n disks, each smaller in diameter than the one below it as in Figure 4.1. An allowable move consists of removing a disk from one peg and sliding it onto another peg so that it is not above another disk of smaller size. We are to determine how many allowable moves are needed to move the disks from one peg to another. Describe the strategy you have used or would use in a recursive program to solve this problem.
