How to estimate disk space loss due to cluster
allocation: cluster size, number of files, total file size,
total amount of allocated clusters, "wasted" space as
an absolute value and as a percentage of used.
The FAT16 file system, if anyone else has one ...

PS If possible, I would like to see the code in C ++.

No one will write code in C++ for this purpose.
I suspect that they just gave assignments at school / institute.
Well, read the FAT16 specification of the system. She's just set up.
The percentage will always depend on the number of files, their size, and the size of the cluster. You just take it and count with your hands. How could you count with your hands / in excel - you sit down and write code in C ++
