Interrupt is like when you’re building a tall tower with your blocks and someone suddenly bumps into it, making it fall. The tower was getting taller and taller, but the bump stopped it from growing. Interrupt means stopping something in the middle, just like your tower that couldn’t keep going up.
Imagine you’re telling a story to your friend, and you’re right in the middle of the exciting part. Suddenly, someone starts talking loudly, and your friend can’t hear you anymore. That loud talking is an interrupt because it stops your story from being heard.
Think about when you’re watching your favorite cartoon, and the TV suddenly goes black because there’s a power cut. You were enjoying the show, but the power cut interrupts your fun. It’s like someone hit the pause button on your enjoyment.
Interrupt can also be like when you’re drawing a picture and your pencil breaks. You have to stop drawing to get a new pencil. Your drawing time is interrupted because you couldn’t keep drawing without fixing the pencil first.
