Trap in operating system

Q. What is trap and an example of trap which we use in daily life?

Ans. Trap is a type of interrupt which is used to communicate with processor. It can be hardware or software either. Generally it is a hardware interrupt with manual access. 

Main thing is that the priority of Trap is always higher than the any kind of other interrupt . If once a trap is occurred processor will execute the instruction corresponding to that trap in any kind of situation.

Ex: The example of a trap which we use in our daily life is the power button in laptops. In whatever condition if we push that button it shutdown the pc.
