C++ Examples - C++ Program to Check Leap Year

In the Julian Calendar, Leap Year (LY) occurs every year divisible by 4. Normally February has 28 days but in a leap year February has 29 days.

In this lesson we will learn how to write a C++ program to check if the giver year is leap year or not.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int year;
  cout<<"Enter a year: "<< endl;
  cin>> year;
  if((year % 4) ==0)
  {
    cout<<" Leap Year ";
  }
  else
  {
    cout <<" Not a Leap Year" << endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

/*
Enter a year: 2016
Leap Year
*/

After you write a C++ program you compile it; that is, you run a program called compiler that checks whether the program follows the C++ syntax
