How can I avoid stack overflow in recursion?

What are some strategies to avoid stack overflow in recursion?

To avoid stack overflow in recursion, you can use techniques like tail recursion, iterative solutions, or increasing the stack size.

Can you explain tail recursion and how it helps?

Tail recursion is when the recursive call is the last operation in the function. This allows some languages to optimize the call stack.

Are there any programming languages that handle recursion better than others?

Yes, languages like Scheme and Haskell optimize tail calls, which can help prevent stack overflow in recursive functions.

What should I do if I can't avoid recursion?

If recursion is unavoidable, consider using memoization to store results of expensive function calls and reduce the number of recursive calls.
