C Program to Check Leap Year #12

C Program to Check Leap Year

This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

• C Programming Operators
• C if...else Statement

A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400.

Example: Program to Check Leap Year

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int year;

    printf("Enter a year: ");
    scanf("%d",&year);

    if(year%4 == 0)
    {
       
            printf("%d is a leap year.", year );
    }
    else
        printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
    
    return 0;
}

Output 1

Enter a year: 1900
1900 is not a leap year.
