Examples

The following code example calls IsLeapMonth for all the months in five years in the current era.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a HebrewCalendar.
   HebrewCalendar^ myCal = gcnew HebrewCalendar;
   
   // Checks all the months in five years in the current era.
   int iMonthsInYear;
   for ( int y = 5761; y <= 5765; y++ )
   {
      Console::Write( " {0}:\t", y );
      iMonthsInYear = myCal->GetMonthsInYear( y, HebrewCalendar::CurrentEra );
      for ( int m = 1; m <= iMonthsInYear; m++ )
         Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapMonth( y, m, HebrewCalendar::CurrentEra ) );
      Console::WriteLine();

   }
}

Remarks

This implementation of the HebrewCalendar class recognizes only the Hebrew years 5343 to 5999 (1583 to 2239 in the Gregorian calendar).

In every 19-year cycle that ends with a year that is evenly divisible by 19, the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years are leap years. A common year can have from 353 to 355 days, depending on the placement of Jewish holidays. A leap year can have from 383 to 385 days.

A leap month is an entire month that occurs only in a leap year. In the Hebrew calendar, Adar Beit is the only leap month.
