What does it mean when a recursion error is caused by exceeding the maximum call stack size while checking for negative numbers in an array?

The maximum call stack size is the limit to the number of function calls that can be made before the computer runs out of memory. A recursion error occurs when a function calls itself too many times, exceeding the maximum call stack size. In this case, the function is checking for negative numbers in an array, and it is likely using recursion to do so. It is possible that the function is calling itself repeatedly to check each element of the array, and if the array is large or contains many negative numbers, this could cause the recursion error. To avoid this error, the function may need to be modified to use a different approach that does not rely on recursion or limits the number of recursive calls that can be made.
