Deadlock



A deadlock occurs when a thread waits forever for a resource that it will never got.
Anytime a thread tries to take more than one lock at the same time, there is a potential for a deadlock to occur. A deadlock occur when two different threads held a lock that the other one needs and then try to acquire the lock held by the other thread. The result is that each thread blocks permanently because it can never acquire the other lock.
Deadlock is a permanent blocking of a set of threads that are competing for a set of resources. The most common error causing deadlock is self deadlock or recursive deadlock: a thread tries to acquire a lock it is already holding. Recursive deadlock is very easy to program by mistake.

Write a program to add two number using inline function in C++?

#include<iostream.h> #include<conio.h> class bca {   public:   inline int sum(int x, int y)   {   return(x+y);   } }; int main() { clrscr(); int r,a,b; bca obj; cout<<"enter two integers :"<<endl; cin>>a>>b; r=obj.sum(a,b); cout<<" the sum of two integers is :"<<r<<endl; getch(); return 0; }   OUTPUT:- enter two integers :    3    6 the sum of two integer is :   9

Traversing of elements program with algorithm and Flowchart

Image
ALGORITHM VARIABLES: §   i:      loop counter of array. §   A:    array name. §   LB: lower bound. §   UB: upper bound. ALGORITHM: STEP 1:         set i =LB STEP 2:         repeat steps 3 & 4                            While i<=UB STEP 3:         apply process to A[i] STEP 4:         i = i+1            STEP 5:         exit EXPLANATION: §   To traverse the elements of the array, firstly set the loop counter ‘i’ equal to last element of the array called the LOWER BOUND. §   Now, repeat step 3 & 4 for accessing all the elements of the array until loop counter ‘i’ is not less than or equal first element of array. §   Now, after checking the above condition, the whole process will repeat for all the elements of array. §   After applying process upon a[i], increment the loop counter by 1, until the condition is not satisfied.
