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);

}

}

Is 2017 a leap year?

No, 2017 is not a leap year.

Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly divisible by 100. However if the year is both exactly divisible by 4 AND exactly divisible by 400, it will still be a leap year - consequently the year 2000 was a leap year but the year 2100 will not be.

Clearly 2017 is not a leap year. The closest leap years to 2017 are 2016 and 2020.

How is leap year determined?

Divide the year by 4. If the remainder is 0, the year is said to be divisible by 4.

Leap years are years divisible by 4, unless the year is divisible by 100, except when the year is divisible by 400. Thus, 1896 was a leap year, but 4 years later, 1900 was not a leap year because even though it is divisible by 4, it is also divisible by 100. 1996 was a leap year and so was 2000 because in addition to being divisible by 4 and 100, 2000 is also divisible by 400.

What month does leap year take place?

A year or leap year still has 12 months

February has one extra day - from 28 to 29

Except year ending 00 e.g. 1900 or 2000 etc
