Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the primary condition for deadlock to occur?

💡 Hint: Remember the acronym 'MHNC'.

Question 2 Easy

How can we identify a deadlock when only one instance of a resource type exists?

💡 Hint: Think about graph traversal methods.

Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What is a deadlock?

💡 Hint: Consider how resources are shared among processes.

Question 2

How is a deadlock detected in a system with single instances of resources?

Through cycle detection in RAG
Through timestamps
By terminating processes

💡 Hint: Think about what cyclical paths mean in graph theory.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a scenario where 4 processes compete for 3 resources of the same type, each process holds one resource and waits for the others to release theirs. Analyze if a deadlock exists.

💡 Hint: Map the resource allocation and requests to identify circular dependencies.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a flowchart that illustrates the deadlock detection process for a system with multiple resources of varying types.

💡 Hint: Create nodes for decision-making at each step.
