Details

  • Typical reasons include "IterationLimit" and "RecursionLimit".

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

The recursion is cut off and the recursing expression replaced by TerminatedEvaluation[…]:

Wolfram Language code: x = x + 1

The function g is designed to always exceed $IterationLimit:

Wolfram Language code: f[0] = 1;
Wolfram Language code: f[p_] := f[p - 1]
Wolfram Language code: g[] := f[$IterationLimit + 1]

The iteration is cut off and the expression replaced by TerminatedEvaluation[…]:

Wolfram Language code: g[]
