Examples

The following example calls IsLeapDay for the last day of the second month (February) for five years in each of the eras. The current era in the example output is the Reiwa era.


using namespace System;
using namespace System::Globalization;

int main()
{
   // Creates and initializes a JapaneseCalendar.
   JapaneseCalendar^ myCal = gcnew JapaneseCalendar;
   
   // Creates a holder for the last day of the second month (February)->
   int iLastDay;
   
   // Displays the header.
   Console::Write( "YEAR\t" );
   for ( int y = 1; y <= 5; y++ )
      Console::Write( "\t {0}", y );
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Checks five years in the current era.
   Console::Write( "CurrentEra:" );
   for ( int y = 1; y <= 5; y++ )
   {
      iLastDay = myCal->GetDaysInMonth( y, 2, JapaneseCalendar::CurrentEra );
      Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapDay( y, 2, iLastDay, JapaneseCalendar::CurrentEra ) );

   }
   Console::WriteLine();
   
   // Checks five years in each of the eras.
   for ( int i = 0; i < myCal->Eras->Length; i++ )
   {
      Console::Write( "Era {0}:\t", myCal->Eras[ i ] );
      for ( int y = 1; y <= 5; y++ )
      {
         iLastDay = myCal->GetDaysInMonth( y, 2, myCal->Eras[ i ] );
         Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapDay( y, 2, iLastDay, myCal->Eras[ i ] ) );
      }
      Console::WriteLine();
   }

Remarks

Leap years in the Japanese calendar correspond to the same leap years in the Gregorian calendar. A leap year in the Gregorian calendar is defined as a Gregorian year that is evenly divisible by four, except if it is divisible by 100. However, Gregorian years that are divisible by 400 are leap years. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days.

A leap day is a day that occurs only in a leap year. For example, the 29th day of Nigatsu (February) is the only leap day.
