What is critical section problem?..

Answer / Rekha Prajapati

The Critical Section Problem describes the situation in concurrent programming where multiple processes access shared data, and some portion of the code that modifies or depends on this shared data constitutes a critical section. Ensuring mutual exclusion (only one process can be in the critical section at a time) and avoiding race conditions is essential to avoid inconsistencies and errors.
