How can I prevent deadlock in my application?

To prevent deadlock, you can use techniques like resource ordering, timeout, and deadlock detection.

Can you explain resource ordering?

Resource ordering involves assigning a global order to resources and ensuring that all processes request them in that order.

What about using timeouts?

Using timeouts means that if a process cannot acquire a resource within a certain time, it releases all resources and retries.

Are there any tools to help with deadlock detection?

Yes, there are tools like Deadlock Detector and VisualVM that can help monitor and detect deadlocks in applications.
