# Leap
Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
```plain
on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
```
For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is. 1900 is not a leap
year, but 2000 is.
If your language provides a method in the standard library that does
this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.
## Notes
Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to
learn!
For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year
phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].

For installation and learning resources, refer to the
[exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/groovy).
Run the tests by executing the test script.
```
$ groovy ./HelloWorldSpec.groovy
```
After the first test(s) pass, continue by commenting out or removing the `@Ignore` annotations prepending other tests.
When all tests pass, congratulations!
