Differentiate hardware andsoftware interrupts?

-Hardware interrupts are the interrupts that occur due to the external devices.

-Software interrupt arises due to the executing program.

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.
