why unix commands can be divided into internal and external
commands?

Answer Posted / shaili

External- It is a compiled executable of a program.Shell
executes it.

Internal- Built in shell.Faster in execution.

Internal commands provides more flexibility and better
management. But, if all commands are internal, shell will
become larger and less responsive.
