Hi! mark,

I think the 400 test is for century years, like: 1900, 2000, 2100 & so on.

How about a bit of something in some old Turbo-C...

--- 8< ---
int leap_yr_test(int test_yr)
/*
  function determines if a given year is a leap year
  Uses:   'test_yr' which is defined prior to function call
  Pre:    none
  Post:   a boolean value is returned indicating TRUE/FALSE
*/
{
  /* local variables */
  int result = FALSE;

  switch (test_yr % 100)
  {
    case 0 : if ((test_yr % 400) == 0) result = TRUE; break;
    default : if ((test_yr % 4) == 0) result = TRUE;
  }
  /* end switch. */
  return(result);
}
/* end function. */
