What is Critical section?

Answer Posted / avdhesh kumar

1. The critical-section problem is to design a
protocol that the processes can cooperate. The protocol
must ensure that when one process is executing in its
critical section, no other process is allowed to execute in
its critical section.
2. The critical section problem is to design a
protocol that the processes can use so that their action
will not depend on the order in which their execution is
interleaved (possibly on many processors).
