what is difference between call stack and stack tace?
Hi !
My doubt is on call stack and stack trace in java.
Call stack: “The call stack is an internal list of all the methods that are currently executing.”
Stack trace: ”It is a list of all all the methods in call stack.”
According to above definitions Stacktrace contains list of all the methods in call stack.
Then what is the difference between call stack and stack trace?
Please explain the difference.
Re: what is difference between call stack and stack tace?
Where did you get those definitions?
Those definitions sound like the same thing.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: what is difference between call stack and stack tace?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the call stack is the list of the methods and the stack trace is the String representation of this list.
Re: what is difference between call stack and stack tace?
The call stack is the actual data structure in memory while the stack trace is just a representation or snapshot of the call stack...
