How can I avoid recursion errors in my code?

To avoid recursion errors, ensure that your recursive function has a base case that stops the recursion.

What is a base case?

A base case is a condition in a recursive function that stops further calls, preventing infinite recursion.

Can you give me an example of a recursive function with a base case?

Sure! Here's a simple example: a function that calculates the factorial of a number. It stops when the number is 1.

What happens if I forget to include a base case?

If you forget a base case, your function will keep calling itself indefinitely, leading to a stack overflow error.
