Stack Overflow after only 31 recursive calls?

I'm just teasing, but c'mon, only 31? I thought it was supposed to be, like, millions! 😛 :oops:

Re: Stack Overflow after only 31 recursive calls?

184 for me. Probably depends on what's stacked:
BrightScript Debugger> m.f = function(x): return x < 2 or m.f(x-1): end function
BrightScript Debugger> for ii = 1 to 1000: ? ii, m.f(ii): next

Stack overflow. (runtime error &hdf)
In any event i am proud of myself coming with a way to write a recursive function in B/S console. It's a doozy

Re: Stack Overflow after only 31 recursive calls?

Aha, well done. I've just barely learned some recursive stuff and was trying to implement part of my sound handling system, re-running the function if certain conditions aren't met using the next array element until they're gone. But I had a flag I was setting the wrong way, so it sent it into an endless recursion under a certain circumstance.
