A deadlock is a circumstance where a group in the process is halted because they are each holding onto resources while waiting for other methods to obtain them. Think of a situation where only one track and two trains are approaching each other. Once they are in front of each other, none of the trains can move. When multiple processes are waiting for resources owned by other methods, a similar situation arises in operating systems.
