If you wanna be cool you can use a fixed point value instead of floating point, but that requires more work because it won't work with standard functions that all expect floats or doubles
1. it's difficult to do well
2. security vulnerabilities galore
3. it requires you to write assembly, or actual machine code at times if you wanna be fancy

that 3rd point also means that you're locked to a single CPU architecture
A memory management unit (MMU), sometimes called paged memory management unit (PMMU), is a computer hardware unit that examines all memory references on the memory bus, translating these requests, known as virtual memory addresses, into physical addresses in main memory.
In modern systems, programs generally have addresses that access the theore...

so don't worry about the CPU wasting time on checking if memory accesses are okay, it has a dedicated piece of hardware for that

I guess there is a way to protect certain memory pages?
Ok, yeah, the program code in C programs is by default made read-only in memory

and I'm not sure how you'd change that
usually the recommended way if you want to have code "modified" at runtime is to generate a dynamic object and tell the OS to load that
