Why do i get 'rangeerror: maximum call stack size exceeded' in javascript?

This error typically arises from a function calling itself recursively without an exit condition, leading to a stack overflow.

Example:


function recursiveFunction() {
    recursiveFunction();
}
recursiveFunction();

Solution:


function recursiveFunction(n) {
    if (n <= 0) return;
    console.log(n);
    recursiveFunction(n - 1);
}
recursiveFunction(5);
Always have a base case or an exit condition when using recursive functions.
