[Tex/LaTex] Tex capacity exceeded, sorry input stack size=5000

errors

I am converting my latex file into a pdf and when I enter \end \end at the terminal, this error message pops up:

! Tex capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\end #1->\csname end#1

My code for the file is:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

I have removed parts of the code and tested it to try and isolate the problem, but I have had no luck with this

Best Answer

You have no 

\end{document}

in the file so tex runs off the end of the file and starts taking input from the terminal with its interactive * prompt.

*
(Please type a command or say `\end')

If you type \end in latex you get the wrong thing as \end has been redefined to end environments, you could type \stop but if you type \end twice you get the equivalent of \end{\end} and the error you show.

(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\end

*\end
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\end #1->\csname end#1
                      \endcsname \@checkend {#1}\expandafter \endgroup \if@e...
<*> \end

!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The solution is to add \end{document} to the end of the file.
