Java Code for calculating Leap Year

Question

I am following \"The Art and Science of Java\" book and it shows how to calculate a leap year. The book uses ACM Java Task Force\'s library.

Here is the code the boo

Answer 1

I suggest you put this code into a method and create a unit test.

public static boolean isLeapYear(int year) {
    assert year >= 1583; // not valid before this date.
    return ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400 == 0);
}

In the unit test

assertTrue(isLeapYear(2000));
assertTrue(isLeapYear(1904));
assertFalse(isLeapYear(1900));
assertFalse(isLeapYear(1901));
