how do you code in binary...
How do you actually physically get to a place in the computer that lets you code in binary...
To code in C++, you go to a text editor or a compiler.
To code in Pascal, you do the same.
To code in BASIC, you do the same.
To code in Assembly, you enter Debug in DOS, an assembler, a text editor, etc...
But what about binary?
A hex editor is hex...not binary...
An assembler is assembly...not binary...
Where can you actually physically code in binary in a computer...

Binary isn't a language, machine codes are. Programming in assembly is generally one-to-one with programming in machine code so there really isn't a need to program in machine code using binary.
You can program in machine code using binary, hex, octal, decimal -- any base you want. They're all just number systems. What makes you think you think doing it in hex is any different from binary? Coding in machine code using hex does the exactly the same thing as using binary. There is no difference when it's stored in the computer, they're just two different ways of writing numbers for people, not software.
