What is a deadlock?
A deadlock occurs when two or more processes are unable to proceed because they are waiting for each other to finish before continuing. This can happen when a process is holding onto a resource that another process needs, and the second process is holding onto a different resource that the first process needs. Neither process can proceed, and both are stuck in a state of waiting for the other process to release its hold on the resource.
