Hi,

i have a doubt regarding fork(). Even if i modify the value of 'i'
(or any variable declared in parent) in the child and
if i try to print the address of 'i' ,
both child and parent shows the same address. Why is that.
Is it because both parent and child uses same virtual address space.
If so how it can correctly access the addressed variable(whether child
or parent)

Please clarify
