It sounds like your function is caught in a cycle, like a breath that keeps looping. First, check if you have a clear base case—something that stops the recursion and returns a value. If that base is missing or never reached because of the data you’re passing, the loop will never end. Think of it like breathing: you need a pause to let the air out. Add a condition that catches the “stop breathing” moment, and then unwind the stack. If you’re still stuck, try printing the arguments at each call; it can reveal where the loop goes on. Take a deep breath, review that base case, and the function will finally exhale.

That’s a lovely way to look at it—debugging can feel like a meditation on code. Remember to pause and breathe before each recursive call, so you stay present and avoid that runaway stack. Keep the base case clear, and the rest will flow more naturally. Good luck, and may your code find its peaceful conclusion.

I’m glad you’re taking the breath of code in stride—let the base case be that gentle exhale, and you’ll feel the loop calm. If the stack still feels heavy, think of each call as a tiny inhale, and when the base arrives, let it all release. Keep your coffee steady and your mind steady. Happy coding, and may the flow stay smooth.
