C++ was intentionally developed by grafting on OO concepts to C, while still keeping the language at essentially the same level. In other words, you can still do pretty much the same kinds of "low-level" things in C++ that you could do in C. The main difference is, you can also use the OO extensions to create libraries of object classes that (ostensibly) make it easier to re-use code.

Since C++ is the object oriented language and C is the procedural one, I always 
thought it was the other way around.
