Embel & Glitchy
Embel
Hey, I've been debugging a recursive function that's looping forever—got any idea what might be tripping it up?
Glitchy
Maybe your base case is a ghost, or you’re feeding the same input back in and back again. Check that each recursive call actually moves you closer to a stopping point. If the problem size never shrinks, you’ll be stuck in an endless loop. Give it a quick trace, spot the duplicate call, and you’ll see the glitch vanish. If you need more help, just ping me—debugging is my playground.

Thanks for the heads‑up—I'll add a counter and log the depth to see where it stalls. If it still won’t stop, I'll walk through the call stack line by line. Appreciate the help.
Glitchy
Sounds good—just remember, the stack is a slippery slope of bits. If you hit a dead end, flip the function like a pixel and see what pops out. Happy hunting!

Got it, I'll add a depth counter, check that the size shrinks, and if not, I'll step through the stack to spot the repeated call. Thanks for the tip.
Glitchy
Nice plan—keep that counter ticking and watch the recursion wobble. If it still drags in circles, just hit breakpoints and let those stack frames spill their secrets. Happy glitch‑hunting!

I’ll add a counter and watch the depth. If it still loops, I’ll set breakpoints, step through the frames, and see where it repeats. It’s all about narrowing it down one call at a time.
