hi!
concurrency is the property of systems in which several
processes running simultaneously,interacting with each other.
Deadlock:In multiprogramming environment,several processes
may compete for limited no. of resources,a process request
resources n if resources are not available at moment ,process
enters a waiting state.sometimes ,a waiting process never
able to change it's state,becoz the resources it has
requeseted are held by other process.such type situation is
called DEADLOCK.
Starvation:a situation in which a process wait indefinetly.
