leap year program issue - jashajmera - Feb-04-2017
Hi,
Can someone please help with the following program.
Can't seem to figure out where I am going wrong.
My program executes fine, just ends up giving the wrong result. Ex. 1992 is a leap year, but my program shows it's not.
a = int(input("Enter year : "))
if (a % 4) == 0:
if (a % 100) == 0:
if (a % 400) == 0:
print("Tis is leeap year")
else:
print("not a leap year")
else:
print("not a leapp year")
else:
print("No it ain't")TIA

the logic looks wrong to me. the 100 year test is supposed to be different than the 400 year test. but yours are coded alike.

Hello!
How about calendar.leap?
>>> import calendar >>> calendar.isleap(1992) True

Line 17 is wrong (the one with 'leapp'). That line is only triggered if the year is divisible by 4, but it says that the year is not a leap year. Also, it would be clearer if you called your variable 'year' rather than 'a'.
