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

This is what I came up with. There is an added function to check to see if the int is past the date on which the exceptions were imposed(year$100, year %400). Before 1582 those exceptions weren't around.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class lecture{


public static void main(String[] args) {
    boolean loop=true;
    Scanner console = new Scanner( System.in );
    while (loop){
        System.out.print( "Enter the year: " );

        int year= console.nextInt();
        System.out.println( "The year is a leap year: "+ leapYear(year) );
        System.out.print( "again?: " );
        int again = console.nextInt();
        if (again == 1){
            loop=false;
        }//if
    }
}
public static boolean leapYear ( int year){
    boolean leaped = false;
    if (year%4==0){
        leaped = true;
        if(year>1582){
            if (year%100==0&&year%400!=0){
                leaped=false;
            }
        }
    }//1st if
    return leaped;
}
}
