How many processes (including the original one) exist after the following statement is executed?if (fork() && fork()) fork();

if (fork() && fork()) fork();

Explanation

In the child of the first fork() the value is 0, so && short-circuits; only the parent evaluates the second fork(), whose child gets 0, while the parent (non-zero) executes the third fork(): original parent, 3 children = 4 processes.
