To make up for the difference between the calendar year and the actual time that the earth rotates around the sun or the actual time that the moon rotates around the earth, a leap year has a different number of days from a standard calendar year. Each Calendar implementation defines leap years differently.
The following code example compares different implementations of the Calendar class.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Globalization; int main() { // Creates an instance of every Calendar type. array<Calendar^>^myCals = gcnew array<Calendar^>(8); myCals[ 0 ] = gcnew GregorianCalendar; myCals[ 1 ] = gcnew HebrewCalendar; myCals[ 2 ] = gcnew HijriCalendar; myCals[ 3 ] = gcnew JapaneseCalendar; myCals[ 4 ] = gcnew JulianCalendar; myCals[ 5 ] = gcnew KoreanCalendar; myCals[ 6 ] = gcnew TaiwanCalendar; myCals[ 7 ] = gcnew ThaiBuddhistCalendar; // For each calendar, displays the current year, the number of months in that year, // and the number of days in each month of that year. int i; int j; int iYear; int iMonth; int iDay; DateTime myDT = DateTime::Today; for ( i = 0; i < myCals->Length; i++ ) { iYear = myCals[ i ]->GetYear( myDT ); Console::WriteLine(); Console::WriteLine( " {0}, Year: {1}", myCals[ i ]->GetType(), myCals[ i ]->GetYear( myDT ) ); Console::WriteLine( " MonthsInYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->GetMonthsInYear( iYear ) ); Console::WriteLine( " DaysInYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->GetDaysInYear( iYear ) ); Console::WriteLine( " Days in each month:" ); Console::Write( " " ); for ( j = 1; j <= myCals[ i ]->GetMonthsInYear( iYear ); j++ ) Console::Write( " {0, -5}", myCals[ i ]->GetDaysInMonth( iYear, j ) ); Console::WriteLine(); iMonth = myCals[ i ]->GetMonth( myDT ); iDay = myCals[ i ]->GetDayOfMonth( myDT ); Console::WriteLine( " IsLeapDay: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapDay( iYear, iMonth, iDay ) ); Console::WriteLine( " IsLeapMonth: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapMonth( iYear, iMonth ) ); Console::WriteLine( " IsLeapYear: {0}", myCals[ i ]->IsLeapYear( iYear ) ); } } /* This code produces the following output.
