1. Stack Frame Can we debug better?
2. Benefits from Understanding Stack Frame StackOveflow Answer
3. Formal Definition Stack frame is the packed information related to a function call. This information generally includes arguments passed to the function, local variables and where to return upon terminating (return address). A function call stack is composed of stack frames, and a stack frame is a thing that you put on the stack. Therefore , the height of the call stack determines the space or memory complexity.
4. Fibonacci , fib(n) fun fib(n: Int) : Int{ if(n<= 1) { return n // Base Case terminates } return fib(n-1) + fib (n-2) }
5. fib(4) fib(4) = fib(3) + fib (2) , executed in order of LIFO fib(1) fib(2) fib(3) fib(4) main()
