Two processes are said to be in deadlock situation if
process A holding onto resources required for process B and
where as B holding onto the resources required for process

Starvation:

This is mostly happens in time sharing systems in which the
process which requires less time slot is waiting for the

time slot goes on waiting. Such situation is starvation for
