Java Code for calculating Leap Year

Question

I am following \"The Art and Science of Java\" book and it shows how to calculate a leap year. The book uses ACM Java Task Force\'s library.

Here is the code the boo

Answer 1

import javax.swing.*;
public class LeapYear {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int year;
String yearStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter radius: " );

year = Integer.parseInt( yearStr );

boolean isLeapYear;
isLeapYear = (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0);  

 if(isLeapYear){ 
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Leap Year!"); 
 }  
 else{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Not a Leap Year!"); 
    }
    }
    }

Answer 2

new GregorianCalendar().isLeapYear(year);

Answer 3

public static void main(String[] args)
{

String strDate="Feb 2013";
        String[] strArray=strDate.split("\\s+");        

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.setTime(new SimpleDateFormat("MMM").parse(strArray[0].toString()));
        int monthInt = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        monthInt++;
        cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, Integer.parseInt(strArray[1]));          
        strDate=strArray[1].toString()+"-"+monthInt+"-"+cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        System.out.println(strDate);    



}

Answer 4

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class LeapYear {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter the year then press Enter : ");
        int year = input.nextInt();

        if ((year < 1580) && (year % 4 == 0)) {
            System.out.println("Leap year: " + year);
        } else {
            if ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)) {
                System.out.println("Leap year: " + year);
            } else {
                System.out.println(year + " not a leap year!");
            }

        }
    }
}

Answer 5

The correct implementation is:

public static boolean isLeapYear(int year) {
  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
  return cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) > 365;
}

But if you are going to reinvent this wheel then:

public static boolean isLeapYear(int year) {
  if (year % 4 != 0) {
    return false;
  } else if (year % 400 == 0) {
    return true;
  } else if (year % 100 == 0) {
    return false;
  } else {
    return true;
  }
}

Answer 6

I suggest you put this code into a method and create a unit test.

public static boolean isLeapYear(int year) {
    assert year >= 1583; // not valid before this date.
    return ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400 == 0);
}

In the unit test

assertTrue(isLeapYear(2000));
assertTrue(isLeapYear(1904));
assertFalse(isLeapYear(1900));
assertFalse(isLeapYear(1901));
