Question

i need to write a program to print a calender, the difficult bit for me is writing a code to find leap years. how do i program my calender to know what year is a leap year? starting from year 0.

Answer 1

if the year mod 4 is zero, then it is a leapyearNot true.
>>
if (year % 4 == 0 )
// leap year
}yes i was contemplating useing a series of if
statements, u made it sound so easy, is that going to
be a valid statement in jbuilder?Yes, the code is valid, but it will not identify leap years correctly. There are some special cases. This will work:     static boolean isLeap(int year) {
        if (year%4 != 0) {
            return false;
        return (year%100 != 0) ? true : (year%400 == 0);
    }If I remember correctly there is also an isLeap()-method in GregorianCalendar or something
