Answer / Shiv Kumar Pawar
Hardware interrupts are triggered by external devices (e.g., timer, keyboard) or internal conditions (e.g., division by zero). They are handled by the hardware and require no explicit instruction from the CPU to respond. Examples include NMI, INTR, and IRQ pins on the 8086. Software interrupts are instructions that cause a temporary transfer of control from the main program to an interrupt handler routine. Examples include INT xx instructions where xx represents the specific interrupt number.
