What is a mutex and a critical section.Whats difference
between them?How do each of them work?

Answer Posted / vikas

Both of them are synchronization objects.
Critical sections are used for intraprocess synchronization
while mutexes are required for interprocess
synchronization. The latter is much heavier in terms of
resources consumed.
