An interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs immediate attention. An interrupt alerts the processor to a high-priority condition requiring the interruption of the current code being executed by the processor. When a hardware interrupt is triggered, the interrupt handler is located based on the interrupt ID and then executed to handle the interrupt.
