6.

it'd do this:
i = 2
i++ /* add 1 to i and return 2 */
i = 3
++i /* add 1 to i and return 4 */
add 2 and 4 and give you 6.

# why does fork have to return a value of zero to the child process ?
if you have to ask this then you've never written a program that uses
fork() and understood it.
# why not -5 or -6 ?
because in the switch statement you wouldn't know if you were in a parent
or child.
let me know what grade you got for that homework :)
