Critical Section Problem
The Critical Section Problem involves multiple processes needing access to a shared resource or data, such as a file or database. To prevent conflicts and ensure data integrity, only one process should access the shared resource at a time. The challenge is coordinating these processes so they don't interfere with each other, avoiding issues like data corruption or inconsistency. Solutions involve synchronization mechanisms that manage the access sequence, ensuring fairness, efficiency, and correctness in multi-process systems.
