# Leap Write a program that will take a year and report if it is a leap year. The tricky thing here is that a leap year occurs: ```plain on every year that is evenly divisible by 4 except every year that is evenly divisible by 100 unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400 ``` For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is. 1900 is not a leap year, but 2000 is. If your language provides a method in the standard library that does this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself. ## Notes For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].

After you get the first test to pass, remove the ignore flag (`#[ignore]`) from the next test and get the tests to pass again. The test file is located in the `tests` directory. You can also remove the ignore flag from all the tests to get them to run all at once if you wish. Make sure to read the [Crates and Modules](crates-and-modules) chapter if you haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
