When I was searching for a distinction between Exceptions and Interrupts, I found this question Interrupts and exceptions on SO...

Some answers there were not suitable (at least for assembly level):

"Exception are software-version of an interrupt" But there exist software interrupts!!
"Interrupts are asynchronous but exceptions are synchronous" Is that right?
"Interrupts occur regularly"
"Interrupts are hardware implemented trap, exceptions are software implemented" Same as above!


I need to find if some of these answers were right , also I would be grateful if anyone could provide a better answer...

Thanks!
