The Java Tutorial points out that Errors are typically external to the Java application and thus normally cannot and should not be caught or handled by the application.

Common Causes of Stack Overflow Errors Infinite Recursion If a function keeps calling itself without a way to stop, you get infinite recursion. Each call adds a new stack frame, and since there's ...

This code demonstrates a stack overflow error that can occur in recursive functions if the base case is not reached within a reasonable number of recursive calls.

The solution demonstrates how to mitigate stack overflow errors by using iteration instead of recursion or memoization techniques to reduce redundant function calls.
