What's the difference between StackOverflowError and OutOfMemoryError

Question

What\'s the difference between StackOverflowError and OutOfMemoryError and how to avoid them in application?

Answer 1

StackOverflowError : Thrown when a stack overflow occurs because an application recurses too deeply.

OutOfMemoryError : Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine cannot allocate an object because it is out of memory, and no more memory could be made available by the garbage collector.
