Ah, I'm starting to get the picture.
C++ would allow you to create a new class based on an int in order to add functions and override operators for enhanced functionality, but at its core C++ is based on C, which is itself an abstraction of assembly and pure native machine code.
This means that the foundation of C++ consists of the fundamental data types that can be directly worked with by the CPU... just different sizes of integers and floating points.
Anything beyond the numbers is implemented programmatically via classes, functions, and operators.
