particular hardware event. Careful coding can easily assure that nothing disablesinterruptsfor
long. Thus interrupt code can run at very precise timings. Another major weakness ofthissystem
is that it can become complex to add new features. Algorithms that take a long time torunmust be
carefully broken down so only a little piece gets done each time through the mainloop.This
systems strength is its simplicity, and on small pieces of software the loop is usuallyso fastthat
nobody cares that it is not predictable. Another advantage is that this systemguarantees thatthe
software will run. There is no mysterious operating system to blame for badbehavior
