Experiment 03

Aim : Design and develop a C program to read a year as an input and find whether it is leap
year or not. Also consider the end of the centuries. Write algorithm and draw flowchart for
the same.

Theory

A year is considered a leap year if:

1. It is divisible by 4.
2. However, if the year is a century (i.e., ends with 00), it must also be divisible by 400
to be considered a leap year.

In simpler terms:

 Years like 1996, 2000, and 2004 are leap years.


 Years like 1900 and 2100 are not leap years, while the year 2000 is a leap year.

Algorithm

1. Start.
2. Input a year.
3. Check if the year is divisible by 4.
o If not, it is a common year.
o If yes, check if the year is divisible by 100.
 If not, it is a leap year.
 If yes, check if it is divisible by 400.
 If yes, it is a leap year.
 If no, it is a common year.
4. Output whether the year is a leap year or not.
5. End.

Flow Chart :
Code :

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int year;
printf("Enter a valid year- ");
scanf("%d",&year);

if (((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100!= 0)) || (year % 400 == 0))


printf("%d is a leap year.", year);
else
printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);

return 0;
}

Output :
Enter a valid year- 1999
1999 is not a leap year.

Conclusion:
Determining if a year is a leap year is an important task in date and time calculations. The criteria for
identifying a leap year, particularly around century years, require careful consideration of divisibility
rules. This program effectively implements those rules in a straightforward manner, showcasing how
to use conditional statements in C. Understanding these concepts is crucial for effective programming,
especially when dealing with dates and calendars.
