Write a Java program to check if a year is a leap year or not.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

public class Exercise18 {
   public static void main(String[] args)
    {
     //year to leap year or not
       int year = 2016;
       System.out.println();        
       if((year % 400 == 0) || ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)))
               System.out.println("Year " + year + " is a leap year");
       else
               System.out.println("Year " + year + " is not a leap year");
               System.out.println();
    }
