Apollo Clark is an unknown quantity at this point

When would I use an interrupt?

I'm a noob to C programming, and don't understand how interrupts work, so...

How is:

void Default_Routine(void)
{
if(bButtonA)
vButtonPressed();
....
};

different from calling an interrupt when ever bButtonA is pressed?

(i tried to post this message earlier, but it didn't seem to go though...)
