1. Write a C- program that do the following: 2 marks

- Ask the user to enter a number.
- Print out all the odd numbers that bellow the entering number.

2. Read the given algorithm carefully and write a C- program to simulate

the system call. 4
marks
Algorithm:
- Create a new child using fork () system call.
- Check for error condition and display error message.
- If return value of fork is not equal to 0 and display it all parent and getpid
using getpid () system call.
- If return value of fork equal to 0 then display it as child process and getpid ()
system call.
- Print the corresponding result.

3. Write a C- program that do the following: 4 marks

- Create a text file (name it as OSLAB) and add your first and last name as
content of the file.
- Use the C program file to copy the content of the file (OSLAB) to another file.
- Print out the file size of the source file.
- Print out the file size of destination file.
