Program to Check Leap Year in Java?

In this Program, we will learn how to Check Leap Year in Java. A leap year is a year that is divisible by 4 and 400 but not by 100.

  • Create scanner class object to pass user input.
  • Use sc.nextInt()  method to store int value inside year parameter.
  • we can determine if a year is a leap year by checking the following conditions :
  • If the year is divisible by 4 and not by 100, or is evenly divisible by 400, then year is a leap year.
  • If none of these conditions are met, then year is not a leap year.
				
					import java.util.Scanner;

public class LeapYearCheck {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Enter the year:");
		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
		int year = sc.nextInt();
		if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0) {
			System.out.println("Leap year");
		} else {
			System.out.println("not leap year");
		}
		sc.close();
	}
}

Output :-
Enter the year:
2012
