Leap Year in Python
Year 2008 is a leap year. The leap year thing is always interesting. Sometimes I also think about the unfortunate people who have birthday on 29th February! :) Let me write two modules that determines whether a year is leap year or not, (I also write test module for this). def is_leap_year2(year): if year % 400 == 0: return True elif year % 100 == 0: return False elif year % 4 == 0: return True else: return False def is_leap_year(year): if year % 100 != 0 and year % 4 == 0: return True elif year % 100 == 0 and year % 400 == 0: return True else: return False def test_is_leap_year(): years = [1900, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2020, 2008, 2010] for year in years: if is_leap_year2(year): print year, "is leap year" else: print year, "is not a leap year" #program starts from here test_is_leap_year() After writing the code I found a nice discussion in pytho
