    copied!<p>Consider the following code.</p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>public class Action { private static int i=1; public static void main(String[] args) { try{ System.out.println(i); i++; main(args); }catch (StackOverflowError e){ System.out.println(i); i++; main(args); } } } </code></pre> <p>I am getting i value up to <code>4338</code> correctly. After catching the <code>StackOverflowError</code> output getting wired as follows.</p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>4336 4337 4338 // up to this point out put can understand 433943394339 // 4339 repeating thrice 434043404340 4341 434243424342 434343434343 4344 4345 434643464346 434743474347 4348 434943494349 435043504350 </code></pre> <p>Consider <a href="http://ideone.com/rqX0jv" rel="nofollow">Live</a> demo here. It is working correctly up to <code>i=4330</code>. Actually how this happen? </p> <p><strong><em>FYI:</em></strong></p> <p>I did following code to realize what is happening here.</p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>public class Action { private static int i = 1; private static BufferedWriter bw; static { try { bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("D:\\sample.txt")); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { bw.append(String.valueOf(i)+" "); try { i++; main(args); } catch (StackOverflowError e) { bw.append(String.valueOf(i)+" "); i++; main(args); } } } </code></pre> <p>Now previous issue not there. now value of <code>i</code> up to <code>16824744</code> correct and and runs further. I am hopping this may runs up to value of <code>i=2,147,483,647</code>(max value of int) without an issue.</p> <p>There is some issue with <code>println()</code>. There are similar answers bellow too. But why? </p> <p>What will be the actual reason?</p>
