Yep: calulate the Julian day number using Zeller's congruence on the dates 1/1/x
and 1/1/(x+1) subtract the first from the second and see what the outcome is: if it is
366 year x is a leap year.

kind regards,

Jos ;-)

Whatever happened to determining a leap year as divisible by 4 but not by 400 ??

Nothing because that is wrong it is

divisible by 4 but not by 100 except if it is divisible by 400 hence 2000 was a leap year.


The formula Jos mentions I image is just his warped sense of humour :D and anyway it appears to be a formula for week day so the difference he suggest should be in the range -7 <= result <= 7.
