Meaning of call stack | Babel Free

Definitions

A stack that stores details of the functions called by a program in sequence, so that each function can return on completion to the code that called it.

Examples

“The details of the call stack are hidden from general view. As a Lua programmer, you want to keep in mind that a stack is being used behind the scenes to make sure that function calls work as expected, but in general you won't need to be aware of its implementation or details.”
