Tail Recursion Optimization
< Prev

Which statement best describes tail recursion optimization in Java?

Imagine a scenario where you repeatedly execute a similar action without needing to perform any additional operations after the call. This is typical in tail recursive methods.
A

Tail recursion eliminates the need for a base case in a recursive method.

B

Tail recursion optimization allows the compiler to reuse the current function’s stack frame for the recursive call, thereby reducing stack usage.

C

Tail recursion optimization increases the number of recursive calls, which often leads to a stack overflow.

D

Tail recursion forces the recursive call to be executed before any other operations in the calling function.
