How many times the program will print "IndiaBIX" ?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("IndiaBIX");
main();
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A call stack or function stack is used for several related purposes, but the main reason for having one is to keep track of the point to which each active subroutine should return control when it finishes executing.
A stack overflow occurs when too much memory is used on the call stack.
Here function main() is called repeatedly and its return address is stored in the stack. After stack memory is full. It shows stack overflow error.

I Think. Here we have to put a base case in function which is called, then only we could get an answer stack overflow. But here in this code, no base case is added so, the answer should be infinite times.
