As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long.
Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the
following rule is used to determine the kind of year:
- if the year number isn't divisible by four,
it's a common year;
- otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible
by 100, it's a leap year;
- otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible
by 400, it's a common year;
- otherwise, it's a leap year.
Look at the code in the editor - it only reads a year number, and needs
to be completed with the instructions implementing the test we've just
described.
The code should output one of two possible messages, which are Leap year or Common year, depending on the
value entered.
It would be good to verify if the entered year falls into the Gregorian
era, and output a warning otherwise: Not within the Gregorian calendar
period. Tip: use the != and % operators.
Test your code using the data we've provided.
Test Data
Sample input: 2000
Expected output: Leap year
Sample input: 2015
Expected output: Common year
Sample input: 1999
Expected output: Common year
Sample input: 1996
Expected output: Leap year
Sample input: 1580
Expected output: Not within the Gregorian calendar period
Program Solution:-
year = int(input("Enter a year: "))
year<1582
print("Not within the Gregorian calendar period")
# Write your code here.
if year%4!=0:
print("common year")
elif year%100!=0:
print("leap year")
elif year%400!=0:
print("Common year")
