You are calling fun() from inside fun(). This is recursion, and causing an infinite loop.

For next time, please post code and errors as text surrounded in three backticks (```), not images.

Here is the correct code:

function fun(z) {
  console.log(`we have a argument named z`)
  console.log(`print by call the argumentName: ${z}`)
  console.log(`print by call the argument.length: ${arguments.length}`)
  console.log(`print by call the this.length: ${this.length}`)
  console.log(`print by call the functionName.length: ${fun.length}`)

  // This line is calling `fun()` from inside `fun()`, causing an infinite loop.
  // console.log(`print by call the functionName().length: ${fun().length}`)
}
let a = 5
fun(a);
