How do I debug recursive functions in Python?

Debugging recursive functions can be tricky. What specific issues are you facing with your recursive function?

I'm getting a maximum recursion depth exceeded error.

This error usually means your recursion is too deep. Have you checked if your base case is correctly defined?

I think my base case is correct, but it still doesn't seem to stop.

You might want to add print statements to trace the function calls. This can help you see how deep the recursion goes.

That's a good idea! I'll try that. Any other tips?

You can also use a debugger to step through your code line by line, which can provide more insight into the recursion.
