Examples

Too much recursion

This recursive function runs 10 times, as per the exit condition.

js

function loop(x) {
  // "x >= 10" is the exit condition
  if (x >= 10) return;

  // do stuff
  loop(x + 1); // the recursive call
}
loop(0);

Setting this condition to an extremely high value, may not work:

js

function loop(x) {
  if (x >= 1000000000000) return;

  // do stuff
  loop(x + 1);
}
loop(0);

// InternalError: too much recursion
