# 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].

## Installation
See [this guide](https://github.com/exercism/xr/blob/master/docs/INSTALLATION.md) for instructions on how to setup your local R environment.
## How to implement your solution
In each problem folder, there is a file named `<exercise_name>.R` containing a function that returns a `NULL` value. Place your implementation inside the body of the function.
## How to run tests
Inside of RStudio, simply execute the `test_<exercise_name>.R` script. This can be conveniently done with [testthat's `auto_test` function](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/testthat/topics/auto_test). Because exercism code and tests are in the same folder, use this same path for both `code_path` and `test_path` parameters. On the command-line, you can also run `Rscript test_<exercise_name>.R`.
