Below programs illustrate the isLeap() method of Year in Java:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the isLeap() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create first Year object Year firstYear = Year.of(2016); // Check if this year object's value is // a leap year or not System.out.println(firstYear.isLeap()); }} |
Output:
true
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the isLeap() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create first Year object Year firstYear = Year.of(1990); // Check if this year object's value is // a leap year or not System.out.println(firstYear.isLeap()); }} |
Output:
false
