A leap year in the Gregorian calendar is defined as a year that is evenly divisible by four, except if it is divisible by 100. However, years that are divisible by 400 are leap years. For example, the year 1900 was not a leap year, but the year 2000 was. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days.
The following code example calls IsLeapYear for five years in each of the eras.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Globalization; int main() { // Creates and initializes a GregorianCalendar. GregorianCalendar^ myCal = gcnew GregorianCalendar; // Displays the header. Console::Write( "YEAR\t" ); for ( int y = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ ) Console::Write( "\t {0}", y ); Console::WriteLine(); // Checks five years in the current era. Console::Write( "CurrentEra:" ); for ( int y = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ ) Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapYear( y, GregorianCalendar::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 = 2001; y <= 2005; y++ ) Console::Write( "\t {0}", myCal->IsLeapYear( y, myCal->Eras[ i ] ) ); Console::WriteLine(); } } /* This code produces the following output. YEAR 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 CurrentEra: False False False True False Era 1: False False False True False */
