Python Program to Check Leap Year

In this program, you will learn to check whether a year is leap year or not. We will use nested if...else to solve this problem.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:


A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400. For example,

2017 is not a leap year
1900 is a not leap year
2012 is a leap year
2000 is a leap year

Source Code

# Python program to check if year is a leap year or not

year = 2000

# To get year (integer input) from the user
# year = int(input("Enter a year: "))

if (year % 4) == 0:
   if (year % 100) == 0:
       if (year % 400) == 0:
           print("{0} is a leap year".format(year))
       else:
           print("{0} is not a leap year".format(year))
   else:
       print("{0} is a leap year".format(year))
else:
   print("{0} is not a leap year".format(year))

Output

2000 is a leap year

You can change the value of year in the source code and run it again to test this program.

  Data Types in Python Primarily there are following data types in Python. Integers (<class 'int'>): Used to store integers Floating point numbers (<class 'float'>): Used to store decimal or floating-point numbers Strings (<class 'str'>): Used to store strings Booleans (<class 'bool'>): Used to store True/False type values None: None is a literal to describe 'Nothing' in Python  Rules for defining a variable in Python: A variable name can contain alphabets, digits, and underscores (_). For E.g. : demo_xyz = ‘It’s a string variable’ A variable name can only start with an alphabet and underscore. It can't start with a digit. 5aman   is illegal and not allowed No white-space is allowed to be used inside a variable name. Also, reserved keywords are not recommended to be used as variable names. Examples of few valid variable names are  aman ,  _demo ,  de_mo , etc. Python is a fantastic language that automatically identifie...

  Python Program to Find the Largest Among Three Numbers In this program, you'll learn to find the largest among three numbers using if else and display it. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following    Python programming topics: Python if...else Statement Python Input, Output and Import In the program below, the three numbers are stored in  num1 ,  num2  and  num3  respectively. We've used the  if...elif...else  ladder to find the largest among the three and display it. Source Code # Python program to find the largest number among the three input numbers # change the values of num1, num2 and num3 # for a different result num1 = 10 num2 = 14 num3 = 12 # uncomment following lines to take three numbers from user #num1 = float(input("Enter first number: ")) #num2 = float(input("Enter second number: ")) #num3 = float(input("Enter third number: ")) if (num1 >= num2) and (num1 >= num3): l...

  Python Functions In this article, you'll learn about functions, what a function is, the syntax, components, and types of functions. Also, you'll learn to create a function in Python. What is a function in Python? In Python, a function is a group of related statements that performs a specific task. Functions help break our program into smaller and modular chunks. As our program grows larger and larger, functions make it more organized and manageable. Furthermore, it avoids repetition and makes the code reusable. Syntax of Function def function_name(parameters): """docstring""" statement(s) Above shown is a function definition that consists of the following components. Keyword  def  that marks the start of the function header. A function name to uniquely identify the function. Function naming follows the same  rules of writing identifiers in Python. Parameters (arguments) through which we pass values to a function. They are optional. A colon (:) ...
