Deadlocks
Deadlocks happen when processes within the same process or between processes compete for resources, which results in circular dependencies. Operating systems should be aware of deadlocks as they consume resources and decrease overall system performance. Many operating systems use algorithms for scheduling and resource allocation to detect and prevent deadlocks.
When a process is a deadlock, it cannot continue until it has the resource it needs. If, for example, process P1 is holding tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive, then it is in deadlock. If one process releases a resource and the other process immediately takes it and enters deadlock.
There are a variety of ways to prevent or resolve a deadlock. The most popular method to fix deadlocks is to use deadlock detection. This algorithm identifies deadlocks by checking for cycles on the resource-allocation diagram. The Banker's Algorithm is one of these algorithms that examines the status of each process for cycles by analyzing the current allocation of resources.
A lock that is mutually exclusion is a different way to avoid a deadlock. This type of lock is used to ensure that the process has access to its own resources and not the resources of other processes. hook deadlocks is an efficient way to avoid deadlocks and provides an increased level of security for your possessions and van's contents.

The first thread then executes the statement block. Typically, you put statements that manipulate data within the SyncLock block to prevent the data from being modified by more than one thread simultaneously. Statement blocks protected by SyncLock are referred to as critical sections.
The lock type that is to be used in the statement block. Unless otherwise specified, a shared lock is the default.
The expression for the lockobject must be evaluated to a object variable that is exclusive to the current instance of your class or a private variable that is not tied to any instance of your class. If the value of the lockobject is null then the LOCK statement will fail and the program will be terminated with an error message at runtime.
