Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Interrupts have two types: Hardware interrupt and Software interrupt. The hardware interrupt occurrs by the interrupt request signal from peripheral circuits. On the other hand, the software interrupt occurrs by executing a dedicated instruction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hardware Interrupts Hardware interrupt is caused by any peripheral device by sending a signal through a specified pin to the microprocessor. The 8086 has two hardware interrupt pins, i.e. NMI and INTR. NMI is a non-maskable interrupt and INTR is a maskable interrupt having lower priority.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are six classes of interrupts possible: External. Machine check.
