Re: Year 2000 is NOT a leap year

--0__=1AnEnFPKbNUlT9dXoSImxAMSkhYhFpbp2WZvQtg5Uh7J5k3qCNSHckk4 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii In less mathematical terms: The change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian involved the change of the simple rule for leap-years to the more complex one in which century years should only be leap-years if they were divisible by 400. For example, 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not leap-years whereas 2000 will be.

This is to the person who thinks that the year 2000 is not a leap year. ****************** ** Think Again! ** ****************** if (year % 400 == 0) leap_year = true; else if (year % 100 == 0) leap_year = false; else if (year % 4 == 0) leap_year = true; else leap_year = false; Just in case there's any doubt, the '%' represents the modulo operator of C/C++ and returns the integer remainder when the integer left operand is divided by the integer right operand. You need to take a remedial course in 'The Year 2000 -- Issues for Computer Professionals'.
