Q. Python Program to Check Whether the Given Year is Leap Year or Not.

Here you will find an algorithm and program in C programming language to check whether the given year is leap year or not. First let us understand what is leap year?

Explanation : A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized. A leap year is exactly divisible by 4, except for the century years (the years ending with 00). Century year is a leap year only if it is completely divisible by 400.

For Example : 2012 is Leap Year, 2014 is not a leap year.

START
Step 1 → Initialize variable year
Step 3 → Check if year is divisible by 4 but not by 100, DISPLAY "leap year"
Step 4 → Check if year is divisible by 400, DISPLAY "leap year"
Step 5 → Otherwise, DISPLAY "not leap year"
STOP

Python Program to Check Leap Year

check_year = 1998
if (check_year % 4) == 0:
	if (check_year % 100) == 0:
		if (check_year % 400) == 0:
			print("{0} is a leap year".format(check_year))
		else:
			print("{0} is not a leap year".format(check_year))
	else:
		print("{0} is a leap year".format(check_year))
else:
	print("{0} is not a leap year".format(check_year)) 

Output

1998 is not a leap year.
