RollerConfig.MaxRecursionDepth Property
Gets or sets how deeply nested a dice expression can get.
- Namespace: Dice
- Assembly: DiceRoller (in DiceRoller.dll)
Syntax
public short MaxRecursionDepth { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Int16
The maximum amount of nesting that can happen in dice expressions. Exceeding this limit will result in a DiceException being thrown with DiceErrorCode.RecursionDepthExceeded.
Remarks
The default value for MaxRecursionDepth is 20. It is recommended to not set this too high, but it should be high enough to handle complex rolls. For example, the dice expression floor((1d20rr<5dl1 + 2) * 1.5)
has a depth of 5 (see below for a representation of the abstract syntax tree). The topmost operation counts as depth 0 rather than depth 1 for the purposes of MaxRecusionDepth.
