Explain Deadlock and Its Conditions
đ Problem
Explain what a deadlock is and list the four conditions that must all hold for one to occur.
đ§ Approach
A deadlock is when two or more processes wait forever for resources held by each other, with none able to proceed. The four necessary conditions are: Mutual Exclusion (a resource can only be used by one process at a time), Hold and Wait (a process holds a resource while waiting for another), No Preemption (a resource can't be forcibly taken away), and Circular Wait (a cycle of processes each waiting on the next).
