Answer:
-Hardware interrupts are the interrupts that occur due to the external devices.
-Software interrupt arises due to the executing program.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Hardware Interrupts are the raised due to external hardware devices whereas the software interrupts are raised by the executing instruction.
- Asynchronized events occur in the hardware interrupts whereas software interrupt face the synchronized events.
- There is increase in the program counter in software interrupt but no increment in the program counter for the hardware interrupt.
