- First I'll present the code, then the rules for calculating which years are leap years, and finally the code again but with extensive comments interspersed.
- Therefore, the year 2000 will be a leap year, but the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not.
- A common misconception is that the Gregorian modification states that a year will be a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4, unless it is evenly divisible by 100.
- To get even closer to the actual number, every 100 years is not a leap year, but every 400 years is a leap year.

- But 1600 and 2000 were leap years, because those year numbers are evenly divisible by 400.
- To make a calendar a better measure of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, leap year rules were created and have since been modified.
- This means that 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was.
- To compensate for this discrepancy, the leap year is omitted three times every four hundred years.
- It uses a globally accepted algorithm for determining which years are leap years.
- If the year is not leap year nor festival year, then print the line ‘This is an ordinary year.’

Origin

Late Middle English: probably from the fact that feast days after February in such a year fell two days later than in the previous year, rather than one day later as in other years, and could be said to have ‘leaped’ a day.
