Algorithm

START Algorithm

  1. Step 1 → Take an integer variable of year
  2. Step 2 → Assign a value to that variable
  3. Step 3 → Check if the year is divisible by 4 but not 100, print "Leap Year"
  4. Step 4 → Check if the year is divisible by 400, print "Leap Year"
  5. Step 5 → Else, print "Not Leap Year"

Code Examples

#1 Code Example with C Programming

Code - C Programming

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
   int year;
   printf("Please Enter year to check leap year: ");
   scanf("%d", &year); // Take input for year variable

   if ( ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400 == 0) ) { // If Divisible by 4 and not 100 or Divisible by 400
      printf("%d is a Leap Year", year);
   } else {
      printf("%d is not a Leap Year", year);
   }

   return 0;
}

    printf ("Enter a Start Year to check leap years: ");  
    scanf ("%d", &startYear); 

    printf ("Enter an End year to check leap years: ");  
    scanf ("%d", &endYear);

    printf ("Leap Years between %d to %d are: \n", startYear, endYear);

Demonstration

So, calculating leape year in c program is very easy. Let's demonstate the code - 

  1. First, we'll take the input from the stdin.
  2. Then year will be leap year only if it is divisible by 4, but not 100
  3. Or, if it is divisible by 400, then leap year
  4. Otherwise all would be not leap year.
