Every four years, one extra day is added into February. This is because of space.

The earth takes 365 and a quarter days to make one full spin of the Sun. This is why there is an extra day every four years.

How do you write a program in java to check a year leap year or not and display the proper message?

You can use a number of nested "if" commands. The rules are the following: If the year is a multiple of 400, it IS a leap year. Else, if the year is a multiple of 100, it's NOT a leap year. Else, if the year is a multiple of 4, it IS a leap year. Else it's NOT a leap year. In Java, to check for divisibility, you use the "%" operator, which gives you the remainder of a division. For example: if (year % 400 = 0) ... To show results on screen, you use: System.out.println(...)


Was 1798 a leap year?

Yes, 1804 was a leap year. Any year whose number is evenly divisible by four is a leap year, with two exceptions. Any year whose number is evenly divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year. Any year evenly divisible by 400 IS a leap year. So, 1800 was not a leap year, while 1804 WAS a leap year. 1900 was not a leap year, while 2000 (being divisible by 400) was a leap year.
