What is the distinction between dead-lock and live-lock?

[Mylo]

Hello, I have a small question to submit, what is the distinction between dead-lock and live-lock? Thank you very much for kindly helping me!

A livelock is similar to a deadlock, except that the states of the processes involved in the livelock constantly change with regard to one another, none progressing. Livelock is a special case of resource starvation; the general definition only states that a specific process is not progressing.
