    A leap year occurs every four years to account for the difference between the calendar year and the astronomical year. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but not by 100 - except that years divisible by 400 are still leap years. The document provides an example function that takes a year as a parameter and returns True if it is a leap year or False if it is not. It then demonstrates calling the function with sample user inputs to print if the year is or isn't a leap year.

    21 LAB Leap year - functions


    A year in the modern Gregorian Calendar consists of 365 days. In reality, the earth takes
    longer to rotate around the sun. To account for the difference in time, every 4 years, a
    leap year takes place. A leap year is when a year has 366 days: An extra day, February
    29th. The requirements for a given year to be a leap year are:
    1) The year must be divisible by 4
    2) If the year is a century year (1700, 1800, etc.), the year must be evenly divisible by 400
    Some example leap years are 1600, 1712, and 2016.
    Write a program that takes in a year and determines whether that year is a leap year.
    Ex: If the input is:
    1712
    the output is:
    1712 is a leap year.
    Ex: If the input is:
    1913
    the output is:
    1913 is not a leap year.
    Your program must define and call the following function. The function should return true if
    the input year is a leap year and false otherwise.
    def is_leap_year(user_year)
    Note: This is a lab from a previous chapter that now requires the use of a function.
    def is_leap_year(year):

    if(year % 400 == 0):

    return True

    elif year % 100 == 0:

    return False

    elif year%4 == 0:

    return True

    else:

    return False

    if __name__ == '__main__':
    n = int(input())

    if(is_leap_year(n)):

    print(n,"is a leap year.")

    else:

    print(n,"is not a leap year.")
