Python Program to Check Leap Year

Python Leap Year Program

An year is said to be leap year if it divisible by 4 and not divisible by 100, with an exception that it is divisible by 400.

In this tutorial, we will write a program to check if given year is leap year.

Algorithm

Following is the algorithm that we shall use to check if given input year is leap year or not.

1. Read an integer from user, to year variable.
2. Check the condition if year is exactly divisible by 4 and 100, or the year is exactly divisible by 400.
3. If the above condition returns true, given year is leap year else it is not leap year.

Python Program

year = int(input('Enter year : '))

if (year%4 == 0 and year%100 != 0) or (year%400 == 0) :
    print(year, "is a leap year.")
else :
    print(year, "is not a leap year.")

Output

Conclusion

In this Python Tutorial, we learned how to check if given year is leap year or not.
