I have this tail recursive function here: def recursive_function(n, sum): if n < 1: return sum else: return recursive_function(n-1, sum+n) c = 998 print(recursive_function(c, 0)) It works up to n=997, then it just breaks and spits out a RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in comparison. Is this just a stack overflow? Is there a way … Read more
Very simply, what is tail-call optimization? More specifically, what are some small code snippets where it could be applied, and where not, with an explanation of why? 10 s 10 Tail-call optimization is where you are able to avoid allocating a new stack frame for a function because the calling function will simply return the … Read more
