In the context of the traffic deadlock, illustrated in Fig. 7.1, discuss each of the necessary conditions for deadlock.

What will be an ideal response?

Mutual exclusion: Each car occupies the space it is in, and no two cars may occupy the same space at the same time. Wait-for: A car holds the space it is in while waiting for the space in front of it. No-preemption: A car may not forcibly be removed from the space it occupies. Circular-wait:The circle (in this case shaped like a square) of cars contains a continuous chain of cars holding space needed by other cars while requesting space possessed by other cars.
