Golang Program to Check Whether a Given Year is a Leap Year

Steps

• Take the value of the year as input.
• Using an if-statement, check whether the year is a leap year or not
• Print the final result.

Explanation

• User must first enter the year to be checked.
• The if statement checks if the year is a multiple of 4 but isn't a multiple of 100 or if it is a multiple of 400 (not every year that is a multiple of 4 is a leap year).
• Then, the result is printed.

Example

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
   var year int
   fmt.Print("Enter the year to be checked:")
   fmt.Scanf("%d", &year)
   if year%4==0 && year%100!=0 || year%400==0{
      fmt.Println("The year is a leap year!")
   }else{
      fmt.Println("The year isn't a leap year!")
   }
}

Output

Enter the year to be checked:2016
The year is a leap year!
