2008 was the last leap year; 2012 will be the next one.
Because the year isn't exactly 365 days, we need to add an extra day every 4 years to keep the calendar in synch with the seasons. If there were no leap years, then after a century April would be a winter month and December would be part of autumn.
So we add one day every 4 years, on February 29th. But this isn't exactly right, either, because the year isn't 365.25 days, it is 365.26 days. Over the centuries, it would add up. So instead of adding a leap year in EVERY 4th year, we skip century years; so the year 1800 was not a leap year, and 1900 was not, and 2100 won't be either.
But this STILL isn't completely accurate. So on years that are divisible by 400, we DO have a leap year, even though they are century years. THIS is pretty close; it will be accurate for the next 280 centuries.
So, if a year is divisible by 4 or 400, it is a leap year, but if it is divisible by 100 it is not.

When can there be an Olympics in a year that's not a leapyear?
All of these rules together, you can see that a year is a leap year not only if it is divisible by 4 - it also has to be divisible by 400 if it is a centurial year. So 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was. So a centurial year that is not divisible by 400 is the only time there can be an Olympics in a year that's not a Leapyear.

Write a program in java to find a leap year?
public class LeapYear { public static void main(String[] args) { int year = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); boolean isLeapYear; // divisible by 4 isLeapYear = (year % 4 == 0); // divisible by 4 and not 100 isLeapYear = isLeapYear && (year % 100 != 0); // divisible by 4 and not 100 unless divisible by 400 isLeapYear = isLeapYear (year % 400 == 0); System.out.println(isLeapYear); } }
