- The program first declares a variable
year
to store the user input. - It then prompts the user to enter a year using the
printf()
and scanf()
functions. - An
if-else
statement is used to check whether year
is a leap year or not. According to the Gregorian calendar, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4
, but not by 100
, unless it is divisible by 400
. The if
condition checks whether year
is divisible by 4
but not by 100
, or whether year
is divisible by 400
. If the condition is true, the program prints that year
is a leap year. Otherwise, the program prints that year
is not a leap year. - Finally, the program returns 0 to indicate successful execution.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int year;
printf("Enter a year: ");
scanf("%d", &year);
if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0) {
printf("%d is a leap year.", year);
} else {
printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
}
return 0;
}
OUTPUT
Enter a year: 2024
2024 is a leap year.
