C Program to Check Leap Year

C Program to Check Leap Year

This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not.
 
Leap year
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:
A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400.

Example: Program to Check Leap Year

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int year;

    printf("Enter a year: ");
    scanf("%d",&year);

    if(year%4 == 0)
    {
        if( year%100 == 0)
        {
            // year is divisible by 400, hence the year is a leap year
            if ( year%400 == 0)
                printf("%d is a leap year.", year);
            else
                printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
        }
        else
            printf("%d is a leap year.", year );
    }
    else
        printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
    
    return 0;
}
Output 1
Enter a year: 1900
1900 is not a leap year.
Output 2
Enter a year: 2012
2012 is a leap year.

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation This program accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation from the user and displays the roots (both real and complex roots depending upon the discriminant ).   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement The standard form of a quadratic equation is: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 The term b 2 -4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant tells the nature of the roots. If discriminant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different. If discriminant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal. If discriminant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different. Example: Program to Find Roots of a Quadratic Equation #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main () ...

C Program to Find ASCII Value of a Character

C Program to Find ASCII Value of a Character In C programming, a character variable holds ASCII value (an integer number between 0 an 127) rather than character itself. You will learn how to find ASCII value of a character in this program.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Data Types C Programming Constants and Variables C Input Output (I/O) A character variable holds ASCII value (an integer number between 0 and 127) rather than that character itself in C programming. That value is known as ASCII value. For example , ASCII value of 'A' is 65. What this means is that, if you assign 'A' to a character variable, 65 is stored in that variable rather than 'A' itself. Program to Print ASCII Value #include <stdio.h> int main () { char c ; printf ( "Enter a character: " ); // Re...
