RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Error message
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
What broke
The error indicates that a recursive function has exceeded the maximum call stack size. This typically happens when the function does not have a proper termination condition, leading to infinite recursion.
Why it broke
It broke because the function keeps calling itself without ever reaching a stopping point. Each function call consumes stack space, and eventually, the stack limit is reached, resulting in a RangeError.
How to fix
To fix this, ensure that your recursive function has a base case that stops the recursion. Review the logic to make sure that the function will eventually reach this base case under all conditions.
Code fix
function recursiveFunction(n) { if (n <= 0) return; recursiveFunction(n - 1); }Explained by ErrorOracle
Prevention tip
Review the logic to make sure that the function will eventually reach this base case under all conditions.
