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).
After writing the code I found a nice discussion in python google group. Click here.
You can also take a look at the wikipedia article on leap year.
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()
