OUTPUT:
program to create 5 child process and kill them

1 child process created with its id no =10146

2 child process created with its id no =10147
3 child process created with its id no =10148
4 child process created with its id no =10149
5 child process created with its id no =10150

to kill the child process

.Kill in ascending order

2.Kill in decesending order
Enter your choice1

child process 1 is killed

child process 2 is killed

child process 3 is killed

child process 4 is killed

child process 5 is killed

 Enter your choice2

child process 5 is killed

child process 4 is killed

child process 3 is killed

child process 2 is killed

child process 1 is killed
