1. Includes: Includes necessary header files for standard input/output, process


control, and error handling.

unidirectional communication channel between related processes. The pipefd
array holds two file descriptors: pipefd[0] for reading and pipefd[1] for writing.
3. Forking: Creates a child process using fork(). The child process inherits a copy
of the parent's file descriptors, including the pipe.
4. Child Process:
o Closes the write end of the pipe (pipefd[1]) since it will only be reading.
o Reads data from the pipe using read().
o Prints the received message.
o Closes the read end (pipefd[0]).
5. Parent Process:
o Closes the read end of the pipe (pipefd[0]) since it will only be writing.
o Prompts the user for a message.
o Writes the message to the pipe using write().
o Closes the write end (pipefd[1]).
