#include #include int main( ) { int value = 10; int pid; value += 5; pid = fork( ); if (pid > 0 ) { value += 20; } printf(value); return 0; } Select all the values that may be printed on the screen when the above program is executed?

Explanation:

To understand how this program is working let us print the variable value at different stages of the program so that we can understand how it is working.

Intitally, value=10 when it was declared.

Then we added 5 and it become value=15

then we used fork() function which creates a parent(orignal) and child(duplicate)

When fork() succeeds it returns the child pid to parent and returns 0 to the child. As you can see (pid > 0) condition is always true therefore the parent pid value becomes 35 ( 15+20) and the child pid value becomes 0.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main( ) {

   int value = 10;

     printf("%d\n",value);

   int pid;

   value += 5;

     printf("%d\n",value);

   pid = fork( );

     printf("%d\n",pid);

   if (pid > 0 )

   {

       value += 20;

   }

   printf("%d\n",value);

   return 0;

}

Output:

10 (initial value)

15 (modified value)

5343 (pid when fork is used)

35 (final modified value)

0 (child value)

15 (the parent value when fork was used)

so much for the extra points :

storage maybe?

are there options?
