Example 3 : Show the effect of changing the childs environment and check its effect in parent
****************************************************************
Answer :
INSTRUCTIONS :
1.These programs are part of systems programming PURELY in Unix and the commands have NO EQUIVALENT IN SCILAB
2.However the .c files which are displayed here are also made into a seperate file.If you are a unix user then try compiling and
running the programme with gcc or cc compiler
3.The outputs displayed here are just MOCK OUTPUTS which are DISPLAYED IN THE TEXTBOOK
4.The inconvenience is regretted.
