Leap year C program
int main()
{
int year;
printf("Enter a year to check if it's a leap year\n");
scanf("%d", &year);
if (year%400 == 0) // Exactly divisible by 400, e.g., 1600, 2000
printf("%d is a leap year.\n", year);
else if (year%100 == 0) // Exactly divisible by 100 and not by 400, e.g., 1900, 2100
printf("%d isn't a leap year.\n", year);
else if (year%4 == 0) // Exactly divisible by 4 and neither by 100 nor 400, e.g., 2016, 2020
printf("%d is a leap year.\n", year);
else // Not divisible by 4 or 100 or 400, e.g., 2017, 2018, 2019
