Week 2 Assignment

Task 1 - Leap Year Check

A leap year has 366 days instead of 365, with February receiving an extra day. Here are the rules for determining a leap year:

1. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4
2. However, if the year is divisible by 100, it is not a leap year
3. Unless the year is also divisible by 400, in which case it is a leap year

Examples:

• The year 2028 is a leap year because it is divisible by 4
• The year 1900 is not a leap year because it is divisible by 100
• The year 2000 is a leap year because it is divisible by 400

Write a JavaScript application that gets a valid year from a prompt and prints one of the following outputs:

• "Yes, <YEAR> is a leap year"
• "No, <YEAR> is not a leap year"
• “Invalid year!”

Replace <YEAR> with the year provided by the user.

A Valid year is between 0 and 9999.
