Question 6. How do locks help manage concurrency?


Answer:

Locks are used to prevent multiple threads or processes from accessing the same resource simultaneously, ensuring that only one thread can modify the resource at a time. This helps prevent race conditions but can introduce issues like deadlocks or reduced performance.
