    A interrupt are hardware generated error that is send by hardware to cpu....whenever it occur then processer executes the current instruction of processs and then switch to other mamory location to handle interrupt..by saving the state of process in order to again resumes the operation of process from where it was left off..bcoz of interrupt..

    CpjJwWHV   "interrupt are hardware generated error" - not necessarily. First of all they are not errors rather than that they are signals that are generated when the processor is to notified of a specific event like i/o request and of course occurrence of an error .
