IMP, or implication, is not a bit-level operator and it
never occurs in machine language.

At the assembly (machine) level, we deal only in bits
and their assemblages, i.e. bytes, words.

But I now see the futility of it all.

If you want to learn to program then start with a
beginners language like BASIC and then research any
hardware topics as they may come along.

C is one step up from assembly.

C++ is high-level abstraction and is a terrible language
both for learning and for applications.

Programming is the control of the computer.

I'd love to see these C++/Python/Whatever jockeys attempt
to control a nuclear power plant or a military fighter
aircraft with their piddling "classes."  They would only
recoil in horror.

For these ultimate applications only machine language can
do the job.
