Is it possible to have a deadlock involving only one singlet

Is it possible to have a deadlock involving only one single-threaded process? Explain your answer.

Solution

No. There is no dead-lock because there is only one process and hence no condition about Mutual Exclusion,it is not Possible to have a Deadlock having only one single threaded process, as Deadlock itself means that if we have 2 processes, and due to a condition both the processes are not allowed to use the Critical Section or the Resource, then we say Deadlock Occours.

Deadlock Definition:-Deadlock refers to a specific condition when two or more processes are each waiting for another to release a resource, or more than two processes are waiting for resources

But here as we have only 1 Process so we have no chance of Deadlock.
