      1 # Leap
      2 
      3 Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
      4 
      5 The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
      6 
      7 ```plain
      8 on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
      9   except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
     10     unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
     11 ```
     12 
     13 For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.  1900 is not a leap
     14 year, but 2000 is.
     15 
     16 If your language provides a method in the standard library that does
     17 this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.

     21 Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to
     22 learn!
