A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Java Program to Check a Leap Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
public class Main {\n\n  public static void main(String[] args) {\n\n    \/\/ year to be checked\n    int year = 1996;\n    boolean leap = false;\n\n    \/\/ if the year is divided by 4\n    if (year % 4 == 0) {\n\n      \/\/ if the year is century\n      if (year % 100 == 0) {\n\n        \/\/ if year is divided by 400\n        \/\/ then it is a leap year\n        if (year % 400 == 0)\n          leap = true;\n        else\n          leap = false;\n      }\n      \n      \/\/ if the year is not century\n      else\n        leap = true;\n    }\n    \n    else\n      leap = false;\n\n    if (leap)\n      System.out.println(year + \" is a leap year.\");\n    else\n      System.out.println(year + \" is not a leap year.\");\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1900 is not a leap year.<\/samp><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In the above example, we are checking if the year 1900<\/code> is a leap year or not. Since 1900<\/code> is a century year (ending with 00), it should be divisible by both 4<\/strong> and 400<\/strong> to be a leap year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, 1900<\/code> is not divisible by 400. Hence, it is not a leap year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, let’s change the year to 2012<\/code>. The output will be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2012 is a leap year.<\/samp><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Here, 2012<\/code> is not a century year. Hence, to be a leap year, it needs to be divisible by only 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2012<\/code> is divisible by 4, it is a leap year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
