The following statement
printf ("welcome to the world");
will be printed twice.

Once it will be executed by the Parent PID later by the child PID after the system call fork.

it ll keep on printing the given string (welcome to the world").. because once parent executes the printf.. then fork creats a separate task..which calls printf as well as creates one more child. This way, innumerable child process are created, which call printf()

main (){ printf ("welcome to the world"); fork();}will output : "welcome to the world"that's it.When you use fork, you separate current process(thread) into two subprocesses from the point where fork() was called.If however you do : main (){ fork(); printf ("welcome to the world");}you'll end up with two : welcome to the world's

it will print one time only, bzc after fork there is no printf statments. the printf statement is before fork so for parent it will print.

The fork() system call will spawn a new child process which is an identical process to the parent except that has a new system process ID.  Hence

printf ("welcome to the world");

this statement execute infinite time
