write a program to check leap year in python

In this article let's learn how to check if a number is a leap year or not. A number is said to be a leap year if it is having an extra day on February 29 that is the number of days in a year is 366.

Leap year occurs  once in 4 years.  non leap year will contain 28 days in February and have 365 days in a year

 

 

 

There is a rule to check whether a number is a leap year or not

First check if number is completely divisible by 4 and not by hundred
Secondly check if number is completely divisible by 400

If either one of the above two statements are true then the number is said to be a leap year.

leap_year = ((year % 4 == 0) and (year % 100 != 0)) or (year % 400 == 0)

Let us use above rule to write a program to check leap year in python

year = int(input("Enter a Year : "))

if ((year % 4 == 0) and (year % 100 != 0)) or (year % 400 == 0):
   print("Its Leap Year")
else:
   print("It's not a Leap Year")
 


OUTPUT 1:

Enter a Year : 2002
It's not a Leap Year


OUTPUT 2:

Enter a Year : 2011
It's not a Leap Year


OUTPUT 3:

Enter a Year : 3033
It's not a Leap Year
