Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is interrupt nesting?

  • A. The ability for an ISR to run indefinitely
  • B. A method to disable all interrupts
  • C. Higher-priority interrupts preempt lower-priority ISRs

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the CPU prioritizes interrupt handling.

Question 2

True or False: A stack overflow can occur if too many interrupts are nested without proper management.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the limitations of system memory.
