The following example using the GregorianCalendar.isLeapYear() method to check if the specified year is a leap year.
package org.kodejava.util;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class LeapYearExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Here we show how to know if a specified year is a leap year or
// not. The GregorianCalendar object provide a convenient method
// to do this. The method is GregorianCalendar.isLeapYear().
// First, let's obtain an instance of GregorianCalendar.
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
// The isLeapYear(int year) method will return true for leap
// year and otherwise return false. In this example the message
// will be printed as 2020 is a leap year.
if (cal.isLeapYear(2020)) {
System.out.println("The year 2020 is a leap year!");
}
}
}
The result of our code is:
The year 2020 is a leap year!
Another code for checking leap year can be seen in the following example How do I know if a given year is a leap year?.
