Deadlock Avoidance is a strategy used in computer science to prevent situations where two or more processes cannot proceed because each is waiting for the other to release resources. By carefully managing resource allocation, systems can ensure that processes are granted resources only when it is safe to do so, thus avoiding potential deadlocks. One common method of Deadlock Avoidance is the Banker's Algorithm, which assesses resource requests and determines if granting them would lead to a safe state. If a request could lead to a deadlock, the system denies it, ensuring that all processes can continue to execute without getting stuck.
