How can I avoid hitting the recursion limit in Python?

You can avoid hitting the recursion limit by using iterative solutions instead of recursive ones. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of an iterative solution.

Sure! Instead of using recursion to calculate factorial, you can use a loop. Here's a simple example:

def factorial(n):
    result = 1
    for i in range(2, n + 1):
        result *= i
    return result

That makes sense! Are there any other ways to increase the recursion limit?

Yes, you can increase the recursion limit using the sys module. For example:

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(1500)  # Set the limit to 1500

But be cautious, as this can lead to crashes if the limit is set too high.
