Interrupt handlers are the same as interrupt service routines a. True b. False

The correct answer is a. True.<br /><br />Interrupt handlers and interrupt service routines (ISRs) are essentially the same thing. Both refer to the special functions that are executed in response to an interrupt signal. When an interrupt occurs, the processor temporarily stops executing the current program and jumps to the interrupt handler or ISR to address the interrupting event. After the ISR is executed, the processor resumes executing the original program from where it left off.
