For example, in the Gregorian calendar, February in a leap year has 29 days instead of 28, so the year lasts 366 days instead of 365. (wikipedia)
The C function below checks if the year received as argument in the function call is a leap year or not.
/*
* Description:
* Checks if a year is a leap year of not
* Parameters:
* year - year to be evaluated
* Returns:
* 0 - the year is not a leap year
* 1 - the year is a leap year
*/
int LeapYear(int year)
{
int isLeapYear = -1;
if(year%400 == 0)
{
isLeapYear = 1;
}
else if(year%100 == 0)
{
isLeapYear = 0;
}
else if(year%4 == 0)
{
isLeapYear = 1;
}
else
{
isLeapYear = 0;
}
return isLeapYear;
}
Example:
This C program reads a year from the keyboard and, using the function defined above, checks whether or not the year entered is a leap year or not.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(void)
{
int year = 0, isLeapYear = -1;
printf("\n Enter the year: ");
scanf("%d",&year);
isLeapYear = LeapYear(year);
if (isLeapYear == 1)
{
printf("\n\t%d is a leap year.",year);
}
else if(isLeapYear == 0)
{
printf("\n\t%d is not a leap year.",year);
}
getch();
return 0;
}
