16 bit floats?

I have very few literal strings.. I'm not "missing" memory.. I was just showing an example of just one type of global variable that's taking a lot of space (the class with the floats).. Aside from that I have lots of other global variables.. more floats, more longs, etc.

In VB there's a specific operator for integer division '' instead of '/'.. is there anything similar in Cpp?
