stack overflows

Introduction Recursive functions in programming are a powerful tool for solving problems that involve repetitive computation where the output of a function at one stage is used as input for the next. However, in Bash scripting, recursive functions can quickly lead to stack overflows due to Bash's limited stack size. To avoid this, we can employ certain strategies and tools to optimize recursive operations. This blog article guides you through the implementation of recursive functions in Bash without encountering stack overflows. Q1: What is a recursive function? A1: A recursive function is a function that calls itself to solve a problem. It typically includes a base case as a stopping criterion to prevent infinite recursion.
