Read Original

This article discusses tail recursion, an optimization that can prevent stack overflow errors by converting recursion into iteration. It explains why C# lacks native compiler support for it despite CLR capabilities and demonstrates practical workarounds using the 'trampoline' technique to transform recursive algorithms like factorial computation into stack-safe versions.
