Concurrency of child processes in pipe communication

[LShivaRudra]

During Assn1 viva, we were told that pipes should be running concurrently. Meaning, the pids of child processes(passengers) should be random and not always increasing. Should we check that here also? If yes, any suggestions of how we can implement that?

[Hritik003]

yeah just whenever you are forking and pid==0 for child, call a function create passenger process

[LShivaRudra]

Since we are using 'for loop' to create multiple child processes, they will be assigned pids in the increasing order even if we call another function right?

Here is the snippet where i used fork. ig using another function call wont make much difference(let me know if it does).

[Hritik003]

not necessary, we dont know which child process execute first, may not be in increasing order

[LShivaRudra]

Cool, I'll check it
