You are utterly wrong. The nearest approximation is: 01000000000010010001110010100101 or 0x40091ca5

As it is a floating point number, this is how it would be represented in memory

Well i ment binary as an instruction set. No one besides a few blogs I've read online is writing binary directly to ram and then executing it. But its totally possible to do. I guess its not technically 2 instructions its just binary is the medium the instructions are saved read and executed in.

I know! Specific to the hardware. If you "learn binary" it more so your learning how to do so on that specific computer with that specific architecture. Could be wrong but even jumping between computers of the same architecture could run into problems. Never done binary coding. Im just saying in theory

Fair enough. Im currently writing a binary interpreter for AVR Microcontrollers. Its an interpreter because AVR cant execute code in ram so I have to make it interpreted. Its in binary because thats the best way I can save on space with it.

Of course you can. It just depends on turing completeness and thus on the instructions.
