How can I prevent stack overflow in my code?

How can I prevent stack overflow in my code?

To prevent stack overflow, you can optimize your recursive functions by using iteration instead, or ensure that your base cases are correctly defined.

What are some common causes of stack overflow?

Common causes include deep or infinite recursion, excessive memory usage in function calls, and large local variables.

Can you give me an example of a recursive function that might cause a stack overflow?

Sure! A classic example is a function that calls itself without a proper base case, like this:

def recursive_function():
    return recursive_function()

How can I debug a stack overflow error?

You can use debugging tools to trace the function calls, check the call stack, and identify where the overflow occurs.
