A recursive function calculates factorials. What happens if the base case (n=0) is omitted, causing infinite recursion?

💡 Explanation

Omitting the base case means that the function will call itself without ever stopping; recursion continues until available stack memory is exhausted, causing a stack overflow error, because the stack frame is pushed without end. Therefore, a stack overflow is the outcome, rather than returning a value, default or otherwise, or converging.
