Directions: "A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4. But if the year is divisible by 100, it is a leap year only when it is also divisible by 400.
Create a program that checks whether the given year is a leap year." I am having most trouble with getting the calculations part down. Here is my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
int year;
System.out.print("Type a year:");
year=Integer.parseInt(reader.nextLine());
if ((year%4==0)||(((year%100==year%400)))){
System.out.println("The year a leap year.");
}else
System.out.println("The year is not a leap year.");
}
I don't receive errors when I run the code, however, when I put such dates, 1600, 1601, and 1700 etc it says it is a leap year when it should not be. I'm very lost and any help will be greatly appreciated
