Your question is Avoiding Deadlocks in Java. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How would you optimize a multi-threaded process in Java to avoid deadlocks and minimize resource contention? Discuss how you would structure synchronization, choose Java concurrency utilities, bound executor resources, and diagnose problems under load. Address the trade-offs between correctness, throughput, fairness, and operational complexity.
