How do I read a call stack in programming?

What is a call stack and how do I read it?

A call stack is a data structure that stores information about the active subroutines of a computer program. To read it, you look at the stack frames, which represent function calls. The most recent function call is at the top.

Can you explain what a stack frame is?

Sure! A stack frame contains information about a function call, including parameters, local variables, and the return address. Each time a function is called, a new stack frame is created.

What happens when there’s an error in the call stack?

When there's an error, the call stack can help trace back to where the error occurred. It shows the sequence of function calls leading to the error, which is useful for debugging.

How can I view the call stack in my code?

You can view the call stack using debugging tools in your IDE or by using specific commands in your programming language, like print_stack() in Python.
