Yes, many recursive algorithms can be rewritten using iterative approaches with loops (e.g., `for`, `while`). Iterative solutions generally use less stack space, often relying on data structures like stacks or queues managed on the heap, making them less prone to Stack Overflow errors for deep computations.
