Which of the following are the first and second steps of dealing with an interrupt?

● Interrupt checked for at start/end of each fetch-execute cycle ● If the interrupt is of a lower/equal priority to the current process then the current process continues

● (If interrupt raised) contents of registers copied to stack ● Flags are set to determine if interrupts are enabled / disabled

● Program counter changed to point to Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) // ISR runs ● After interrupt complete, previous register values restored back from stack

● Flag is reset ● If higher priority interrupt received during servicing of interrupt, this is added to stack and new interrupt dealt with
