How does `StackOverflowError` differ from an `OutOfMemoryError` in Java?

`StackOverflowError` and `OutOfMemoryError` both indicate memory exhaustion, but they occur in different regions of memory. `StackOverflowError` specifically means the **Java Virtual Machine (JVM) call stack** has been exhausted, typically due to too many method calls. In contrast, `OutOfMemoryError` generally means the **Java heap memory** (where objects are allocated) or sometimes other memory areas (like Metaspace for class metadata or native memory) have been exhausted. While `StackOverflowError` points to an issue with call depth, `OutOfMemoryError` usually points to excessive object creation or memory leaks.
