Q5) What is the difference between Race Condition and Deadlock in java?

Question

Accepted Answer

Race condition occurs when multiple threads try to access and modify the same resource simultaneously, while deadlock occurs when two or more threads are waiting for each other to release resources.

Race condition is a situation in which the outcome of a program depends on the order of execution of its threads.
Deadlock is a situation where two or more threads are blocked forever, waiting for each other to release resources.
Race condition can lead to unpredictable behavior and data corruption.
Deadlock can cause the entire program to hang and become unresponsive.
Example of race condition: Two threads trying to increment a shared counter variable without proper synchronization.
Example of deadlock: Thread 1 locks resource A and waits for resource B, while Thread 2 locks resource B and waits for resource A.
