Answer Posted / nivethitha somu
Livelock : A condition that occurs when two or more
processes continually change their state in response to
changes in the other processes. The result is that none of
the processes will complete. An analogy is when two people
meet in a hallway and each tries to step around the other
but they end up swaying from side to side getting in each
other's way as they try to get out of the way.
Deadlock : A condition that occurs when two processes are
each waiting for the other to complete before proceeding.
The result is that both processes hang. Deadlocks occur most
commonly in multitasking and client/server environments.
Ideally, the programs that are deadlocked, or the operating
system, should resolve the deadlock, but this doesn't always
happen.
