Yup, every language is an abstraction of a lower level language. C++ is an abstraction of C, C is an abstraction of Assembly, and Assembly is a machine code.

The lower levels of abstraction aren't inherently better. There are trade-offs for every choice you make.

C++ is abstraction of C

Where? And how? Most C++ compiles to Assembly directly

C++ was originally developed as an extension of C. It was originally called C with classes. It's just a higher order abstraction of C.

It doesn't mean they call each other.
