stack
Last edited: August 8, 2025stack is where all local variables and parameters live for a function. The stack frame goes away when the function returns.
stack grows downwards in memory; each function call sets aside some space in stack regardless if local variables are used.
stack trace
Last edited: August 8, 2025A stack trace is the output of failing code by the runtime to indicate the location of the fault. For instance, in Python:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-0b766d7d4bc7> in <module>
----> 1 0+""
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
standard error
