Interrupts are in place so you can run a program and have something else run in the background. Example...
Say you want to check to see if a Roomba to check if it has run into anything (actually did this for a class) but you also want it to work itself around a maze. You would run you logic for the maze above the interrupt to check if you ran into anything. You would have an interrupt run every 10 milliseconds lets say to check if the bumpers were depressed and if they weren't then you would continue to run the code. Otherwise if you did run into something it would run its little bit of code (in ours it would turn left) then it would continue to run the code from where the program counter left off.

What is the purpose of interrupts in Operating System?
Answer: An interrupt is a hardware-generated change-of-flow within the system. An interrupt handler is summoned to deal with the cause of the interrupt; control is then returned to the interrupted context and instruction. A trap is a software-generated interrupt. An interrupt can be used to signal the completion of an I/O to obviate the need for device polling. A trap can be used to call operating system routines or to catch arithmetic errors.Type your answer here...

What is the use of interrupt vector?
An interrupt vector is the memory address of an interrupt handler, or an index into an array called an interrupt vector table or dispatch table. Interrupt vector tables contain the memory addresses of interrupt handlers. When an interrupt is generated, the processor saves its execution state via a context switch, and begins execution of the interrupt handler at the interrupt vector.

In the 8085, the interrupt vector table is the first 64 bytes of memory if using the RST form of interrupt, otherwise the interrupt vector is provided by the interrupting device, usually in the form of a CALL instruction. The interrupt handler is wherever the interrupt vector points to.
