Forking
When I compile this C programme I get different outputs each time I run it
Please explain to me whats happening in the code if you can give me a detailed explanation with the schedular functionality it will help a lot. Because I am stuck with this.


Code:

   #include <stdio.h>

   main(){

            int i = 0;

            printf("I am the parent\n");

            for( i =0 ; i < 3 ; i++ )

                 if( ! fork() )

                      printf("I am a child  %d  \n",i);

}

The OP is breaking the rules but there is an additional question in this thread "with the schedular functionality," which was the answer from the other thread.
