hi
When I run the program below it gives unexpected result
Why this program gives that type of output?
thanks

CODE

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *outfile;

if ( (outfile=fopen("myout","w"))==NULL)
{
perror ("P6.C");
exit(2);
}

if (fork()==0)
fprintf(outfile,"%s\n","output from the child");

if (fclose(outfile)==EOF)
perror("P6.C");
else
{
sleep(3);
fprintf(outfile,"%s\n","output from the parent");
fclose(outfile);
}
}
