I get a stack overflow when executing this.I am not sure if I made any logical error.Does anybody see any silly logic??

Thanks for your help Ram Any time you have a stack overflow, suspect runaway recursion. It may not be infinite recursion (because it does eventually crash with an error message!) but it is probably effectively infinite.

No. Real code is needed, not only to see the problem, but to qualify as on-topic here.
