What are the four conditions required for deadlock to occur?

  

Answers


Faith
The four conditions required for deadlock to occur are:
i. Mutual Exclusion – the processes must be trying to access the same resource at the same time
ii. Circular Wait – the processes exist in a circular chain, where each is waiting for the resource held by
the next member of the chain.
iii. Hold & Wait – process holds a resource, DOESN'T GIVE IT BACK, and blocks because it's waiting for
more
iv. No Preemption – resource can't be forcibly taken from the process holding it
