Java Program to Print Leap Years!

Dear Readers, In this post I am going to show you how to write a core Java program to print Leap years!.

In this program, we will collect the start year and end year from the user and then find the leap years between the start and end year.

/**

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PrintLeapYear {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int startYear, endYear, i;

        //create a scanner object to get the input
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

        //get the start year from user
        System.out.print("Enter the Start Year:");
        startYear = in.nextInt();

        //get the end year from user
        System.out.print("Enter the End Year:");
        endYear = in.nextInt();

        //print the leap years
        System.out.println("Leap years:");

	//loop through between start and end year
        for (i = startYear; i <= endYear; i++) {

            //find the year is leap year or not,  if yes print it
            if ( (0 == i % 4) && (0 != i % 100) || (0 == i % 400) ){
               System.out.println(i);
            }
        }
    }
}

Just go through the comments to understand the above Java Program.

Sample output:

Enter the Start Year:1995
Enter the End Year:2015
Leap years:
1996
2000
2004
2008
2012
