Question

A recursion program without a terminating condition will provide infinite output. True/False?

Comments

Run time error (stack overflow!)

No ouput.

Answer 1

True.

A recursion program is a function that calls itself. Without a terminating condition, the function will keep calling itself indefinitely, resulting in an infinite loop. This will cause the program to continue running indefinitely, providing an infinite output.It will cause RUNTIME  ERROR

Answer 2

True.

Every Recursive program needs a termination condition. Basically, it didn’t go to infinite because Stack size is limited. That’s why it gives RUNTIME ERROR: StackOverflow.

Answer 3

True.

A recursion program without a terminating condition, also known as an infinite recursion, will continue to call itself indefinitely, eventually causing a stack overflow error or running out of memory. This will result in an infinite output or an infinite loop, and the program will not terminate until the system crashes. Therefore, it is important to have a terminating condition in recursion to prevent such errors and ensure that the program executes correctly.

Answer 4

True, if there is no terminating condition for the recursive algorithm, the algorithm runs the stack overflow exception.
