Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are developing a multithreaded application that processes banking transactions. Describe how you would implement lock ordering to prevent deadlock when two threads access accounts concurrently.

💡 Hint: Consider the order of account identifiers.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where threads might frequently encounter deadlock. Propose a comprehensive strategy using both timeouts and try-lock mechanisms to ensure continuous operation.

💡 Hint: Think about balancing resource access and thread activity.
