@Ankuj: Sorry. I read the getch() as a call to green(). Please ignore the 20 green(). It should be 10 green() instead. -- DK http://twitter.com/divyekapoor http://www.divye.in http://gplus.to/divyekapoor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm

Surprisingly, if I comment the last if condition ( which is AFTER red() call ), it is printing red only 6 times as expected.. http://ideone.com/XMHzC main() { fork(); int color=fork(); if(color==0) fork(); red(); //if(color==0) //
