Only up to the point where the Integer is so big that your system can't hold it and it's OS/program/etc code at the same time. That function is tail recursive, which in some languages will get optimized out so the stack won't overflow.

But in general, I was talking about the abstract math concept, not the implementation. We'll always be bounded by hardware, unfortunately.

And thanks.]]>Brooks comments on Beauty in Computer Science: RecursionBrooksThu, 18 Sep 2008 15:33:37 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/8/29/beauty-in-computer-science-recursion.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/2002950http://www.flickr.com/photos/willdoesntexist/2650523871/]]>Brooks comments on Negative SpaceBrooksThu, 18 Sep 2008 15:28:47 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/9/1/negative-space.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/2002941Laura comments on Negative SpaceLauraThu, 18 Sep 2008 04:30:25 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/9/1/negative-space.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/2002146Katy comments on Negative SpaceKatyTue, 16 Sep 2008 05:35:45 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/9/1/negative-space.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1994235
As a writer, having the right word is very important to me. Thanks!]]>Elliot comments on Beauty in Computer Science: RecursionElliotFri, 29 Aug 2008 11:20:06 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/8/29/beauty-in-computer-science-recursion.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1854739
Well, it depends on your system memory a bit... ; )

CS is quite beautiful, though. Great post. You explain things very well.]]>Steve Losh comments on Here we go again.Steve LoshFri, 15 Aug 2008 21:23:37 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/2/21/here-we-go-again.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1779127Adam Sneller comments on Microsoft Entourage + AppleScript = FrustrationAdam SnellerSun, 06 Apr 2008 02:04:12 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/2/21/microsoft-entourage-applescript-frustration.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1403132Jocelyn comments on My First Day with LeopardJocelynThu, 27 Mar 2008 15:16:36 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/3/2/my-first-day-with-leopard.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1382752Steve Losh comments on Photography Class Final ProjectSteve LoshFri, 22 Feb 2008 16:29:32 +0000http://www.stevelosh.com/blog/2008/2/21/photography-class-final-project.html#comments54302:1980953:comment/1313583
