	Meaningless question -- it all relies upon HOW THE CODE GETS INTO
MEMORY.

	NOT TO MENTION: "binary" and "hex" are just notations. They both
represent a set of bits, but hex uses one character to encode 4 bits while
binary needs one character for each bit.

	0xA5 is the SAME as '101001010'b (note: the notation differs with
whatever system you use to enter them -- 0xA5 in C is 16#A5# in Ada, and
'A5'h in some obsolete systems..

	If you have an old system with front-panel toggle switches, you set the
switches for binary values, and then push the "enter" switch.

	"machine code" typically implies an instruction set specific to that
machine... ALL computers operate in BINARY logic (a bit only holds 0 or 1).
How you get those bits into the computer is irrelevant.
