# 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].

The test suite (a file with the extension `.t`) will attempt to run routines from the module (a file with the extension `.pm6`). Add/modify routines in the module so that the tests will pass! You can view the test data by executing the command `perl6 --doc *.t` (\* being the name of the test suite), and run the test suite for the exercise by executing the command `prove . --exec=perl6` in the exercise directory. You can also add the `-v` flag e.g. `prove . --exec=perl6 -v` to display all tests, including any optional tests marked as 'TODO'. ## 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.
