I have a piece of C code that uses the fork() system call and I’m confused about its output. Here’s the code:

int main() {
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
        printf("%d", i);  
        if (fork() == 0) {
            printf("%d", i+1);  
        }


    }
    printf("7");
}

When I run this code, the output is 07017. I am puzzled about where the second 0 comes from. I assumed that once the fork() is called, the child process would not execute the printf(“%d”, i) statement again as it should start execution from the point after the fork(). Can someone explain why the child process prints the 0 again, contributing to the unexpected output?

I expected it to be 0717.
