Describe Banker’s algorithm..

Answer / Mohammad Naeem

Banker's algorithm is a deadlock avoidance strategy used in operating systems. It determines whether a system is safe (deadlock-free) based on the resources requested by each process and the available resources in the system. The algorithm checks if there exists a safe sequence of processes, where each process can complete its task without encountering a deadlock.
