Tail Call Optimization in JVM with Kotlin #59
Description
Abstract
In recursive function, each call to to the function creates new stack frames in function call stack. This takes a memory.
Tail Call optimization is programming technique in which we do not create new stack frames in the function call stack for recursive functions, hence save memory.
Problem : JVM doesnt support Tail call optimization .
Solution : Kotlin can help you write Tail Call optimized code
