The following C program is executed on a Unix/Linux system:#include <unistd.h> int main() { int i; for (i=0; i<10; i++) if (i%2 == 0) fork(); return 0; }The total number of child processes created is _______.

The for loop iterates for $i = 0, 1, 2, \dots, 9$.

The condition i % 2 == 0 evaluates to true when $i \in \{0, 2, 4, 6, 8\}$, which is a total of $5$ times.

Each time fork() is called, all existing processes create a new child process, effectively doubling the total number of processes.

• Total processes after $5$ fork() calls $= 2^5 = 32$.

• Since $1$ process is the original parent process, the total number of child processes created is:
