Determining if a year is a leap year is a common task in programming. In C++, you can use the std::chrono::year
class from the C++ Standard Library to simplify this check. Here’s an example of how to accomplish this:
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
bool isLeapYear(int year) {
std::chrono::year y{ year };
return y.is_leap();
}
int main() {
int year;
std::cout << "Enter a year: ";
std::cin >> year;
if (isLeapYear(year)) {
std::cout << year << " is a leap year." << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << year << " is not a leap year." << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
In this example, we define a function isLeapYear
that takes an int
parameter representing the year to check. Inside the function, we create a std::chrono::year
object using the input year. Then, we use the is_leap()
member function to determine if the year is a leap year. The function returns true
if it is a leap year and false
otherwise.
In the main
function, we prompt the user to enter a year, read it from the standard input, and call the isLeapYear
function. Based on the return value, we display whether the year is a leap year or not.
Now you can easily check if a year is a leap year using the C++ Standard Library and std::chrono::year
class!
