What's the difference between deadlock and livelock?

Question

Can somebody please explain with examples (of code) what is the difference between deadlock and livelock?

Answer 1

DEADLOCK Deadlock is a condition in which a task waits indefinitely for conditions that can never be satisfied - task claims exclusive control over shared resources - task holds resources while waiting for other resources to be released - tasks cannot be forced to relinguish resources - a circular waiting condition exists

LIVELOCK Livelock conditions can arise when two or more tasks depend on and use the some resource causing a circular dependency condition where those tasks continue running forever, thus blocking all lower priority level tasks from running (these lower priority tasks experience a condition called starvation)
