Programming Assignment #3: Defining a function for finding leap years

The task:

Define a function isLeapYear(number) that will return TRUE or FALSE accordingly based on whether number represents a leap year. Then in your program set up a loop to repeatedly call isLeapYear(x) to check every year x in the range of 1900 to 2400 to see whether it is a leap year and print it out if it is indeed a leap year. In other words, we want to define the isLeapYear and then call it repeatedly to help us print out all the leap years in the range of 1900 to 2400.

Leap years:

A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 except that any year divisible by 100 is a leap year only if it is also divisible by 400. So 1900 is not a leap year, but 2000 is. In other words,

· a year (e.g. 1996) is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100,

• a year (e.g. 2000) is a leap year if it is divisible by 400 (and thus by 100 too),
• otherwise, it is not a leap year (e.g. 1900, 1775).
