# 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: ```text 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].

Please see the [installation](http://www.exercism.io/languages/delphi/installation) instructions for more information. ### Loading Exercises into Delphi If Delphi is properly installed, and `*.dpr` file types have been associated with Delphi, then double clicking the supplied `*.dpr` file will start Delphi and load the exercise/project. `control + F9` is the keyboard shortcut to compile the project or pressing `F9` will compile and run the project. Alternatively you may opt to start Delphi and load your project via. the `File` drop down menu. ### When Questions Come Up We monitor the [Pascal-Delphi](https://gitter.im/exercism/Pascal-Delphi) support room on [gitter.im](https://gitter.im) to help you with any questions that might arise. ### Submitting Exercises Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the exercise file you're submitting is in the `exercism/delphi/` directory. For example, if you're submitting `ubob.pas` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit /delphi/bob/ubob.pas`. ## Source JavaRanch Cattle Drive, exercise 3 [http://www.javaranch.com/leap.jsp](http://www.javaranch.com/leap.jsp) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
