Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are blocked and unable to proceed.
It happens when each process is holding a resource and waiting for another resource to be released.
There are four necessary conditions for deadlock: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait.
Examples of resources that can cause deadlock include printers, disk drives, and memory.
