There are many situations where recursion is a pretty good way to solve a problem, the classic example being calculating a factorial which can be calculated as: function factorial number if number = 1 then return 1 else return number * factorial(number - 1) end if end factorial The error message arises because each time you recurse, information is stored in the memory of the computer so it can no how to return back up the chain once it gets to the beginning (where number = 1 in the example). Obviously, there is a limit to how many times you can call factorial() without breaking the program. The actual limits are variable depending on the parameters passed etc. More typically, the problem arises because you accidentally have a handler that is calling itself in an endless loop.
