- Usage:
recursionLimit = n

Inputs:

Consequences:
-
The recursion depth limit for the interpreter is set to n.
Description
Each time a function is called, the recursion depth is incremented by 1, and each time a function returns, the recursion depth is decremented. This limit on recursion depth is a way to detect infinite loops.
