How can i fire this function recursively

[Mati14677 (Mafnor)]

Let’s say i have this function:

local function f(x)
		if x > 2000000 then
			return x
		end

		return f(x + 1)
end



print(f(1))

The problem is after it firing 200 times a c stack overflow appears. How can i fire this functions recursively without that happening?

when you use recursion you must be sure that you are not going to overflow the stack. if you are not sure it is better to use loops.

local function f(x)
    while x <= 2000000 do
        x = x + 1
    end
    return x
end
