Oh okay. Yeah I only have that rule of “every 4 years” in my head. I did some other programming exercise way back where we had some other rule, but I was thinking that it would end up being the same.
No, years divisible by 100 aren’t leap years, except if they’re also divisible by 400.

Oh right, I had some programming exercise about this, way back.
