Listing out leap years between certain
period
The programming lesson will teach you the coding for finding and listing out the
leap years between two years. In the following example we have to find out the
leap years between 1990 and 2006. First define the two years under a class
"leapyears". Let i = 2006 and n=1990. Now with the help of for loop
method initialize the year as n=1990 and n<=i. Also apply the increment
statement in the loop as we have to check one by one.
As we know a leap year is divisible by 4, define an integer l=n%4. So if 'n'
is divisible by 4 or l=0, then the particular year can be a leap year. For
checking this, apply the if statement and if this satisfies then, the
year will be a leap year. For listing out each year write "+n" in the
System.out.println.
Now compile and run the program in the command window and see the result. If
you find any error, check the whole program and find out the
Here is the code of the program:
class leapyears
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=2006;
int n;
for (n=1990; n<=i ; n++){
int l=n%4;
if (l==0){
System.out.println("leap year: "+n);
}
}
}
}

it is very good example for describing the use of for loop
