Check leap year or not using conditional operator in java

Let’s learn to check leap year or not using conditional operator in java.

Check leap year or not using conditional operator in java

To check if year is leap year or not using conditional operator first we have to read value from user using nextLong() method of Scanner class.

Then using ternary operator check given year is leap year or not. For that we have to see that given year is divisible by 4 or divisible by 400 and not divisible by 100. Now let’s see program to check leap year or not using conditional operator.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class LeapYearExample 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      long number, year, a;
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Please enter any year :");
      year = sc.nextLong();        
      if(year != 0)
      {
         number = (year % 400 == 0)?(a = 1):((year % 100 == 0)?(a = 0):((year % 4 == 0)?(a = 1):(a = 0)));      
         if(number == 1)
         {
            System.out.println(year + " is a leap year");
         }
         else
         {
            System.out.println(year + " is not a leap year");
         }
      }
      else
      {
         System.out.println("year zero does not exist ");
      }
      sc.close();
   }
}

Output:

Please enter any year :2002
2002 is not a leap year

Please enter any year :2004
2004 is a leap year
