In the Gregorian calendar, which is the calendar used by most modern  
countries, the following rules decides which years are leap years:

1.  Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year.
2.  But every year divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year
3.  Unless the year is also divisible by 400, then it is still a leap year.
