Define paging and deadlock...

Answer / Prabal Chatterjee

{"paging": "Paging is a technique used in computer programming to divide large amounts of data into smaller portions (pages) for more efficient handling.", "deadlock": "Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are unable to proceed because each process is waiting for the other to release a resource. This can lead to a standstill situation where no progress is made in the system, potentially causing application failures."}
