Python program to check a leap year

def is_leap(year):
    return (year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 != 0) or year % 400 == 0

for year in (2024, 1900, 2000, 2023):
    if is_leap(year):
        print(year, "is a leap year")
    else:
        print(year, "is not a leap year")

Output:

How it works

• 2024 is divisible by 4 and not by 100, so it is a leap year.
• 1900 is divisible by 100 but not by 400, so it is not a leap year.
• 2000 is divisible by 400, so it is a leap year.
• 2023 is not divisible by 4.
