Javascript maximum call stack exceeded

'use stict';

function sumToRecursive(n) {
  if (n === 1) {
    return 1;
  }

  return n + sumToRecursive(n - 1);
}

function measureFunctionSpeed(f) {
  let start = Date.now();

  for (let i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
    f(i);
  }

  let end = Date.now();

  return end - start;
}

console.log(measureFunctionSpeed(sumToRecursive));

I’m getting a ‘maximum call stack exceeded’ error when I try to run the code above but I learned that the max call stack limit is around 10,000. My code goes 10 recursive levels deep at most but throws the same error. Does anyone know why?

>Solution :

The first iteration of the loop feeds the function 0 as i, which is not covered in the base case.

You can either start the for loop from i= 1 or change the base case check to if (n <= 1) {} to cover the 0 case.
