What is irq use for computer?

IRQ stands for Interrupt ReQuest. It allows other hardware in your computer to interrupt what the CPU is doing, because there is something else that needs to be done. For example, when you press a key on your key board, an IRQ is generated that says a key has been pressed. If there were no IRQs, then the CPU would have to check the keyboard over and over again to see if a key has been pressed, which wastes time.
