Difference Between StackOverflowError and OutOfMemoryError in Java
The article explains the differences between StackOverflowError and OutOfMemoryError in Java. StackOverflowError is caused by excessive method calls leading to exhausted stack memory, often due to deep recursion. In contrast, OutOfMemoryError occurs when the Java Virtual Machine cannot allocate more memory due to exhausted heap memory from excessive object creation or memory leaks.
- ▪StackOverflowError occurs when stack memory is exhausted due to excessive method calls.
- ▪OutOfMemoryError occurs when the JVM cannot allocate more memory due to exhausted heap memory.
- ▪Java memory is divided into stack memory and heap memory.
