Deadlock and starvation in C#

A deadlock occurs when a resource is locked by one thread and another thread requires the resource at the same time. This problem occurs frequently in multiprocessing systems.

This problem can occur when two or more threads are waiting for a resource that belongs to another thread. Here is an example -

tr>##Request lockQRequest lockP

Thread one	Thread two
Get the lock P	Get lockQ

Thread One will not acquire lock Q because it belongs to thread two. Likewise, thread two will not acquire lock P because its original owner was thread one.

Deadlock can also be a three-way deadlock, which will happen if three threads and three locks are common. Likewise, four-way, five-way, and other deadlocks can occur.

Starvation is the permanent blocking of one or more runnable threads in a multi-threaded application.
