Ruby, stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

Question

I have the following code:

class BookPrice
  attr_accessor :price
  def initialize(price)
    @price = price
  end

  def price_in_cents
    Integer(price*100 +          


        

Answer 1

One general reason this can happen is if you have some method that calls itself recursively (i.e. calls itself inside itself, which causes an infinite loop).

That's the problem I had that led to the error message.

In your case that's what's happening here:

def price
  @price = price
end
