Given a number N, the task is to check if N is a Leap Year or not, using Command Line Arguments. Examples:
Input: N = 2000
Output: Yes
Input: N = 1997
Output: No
Approach:
- Since the number is entered as Command line Argument, there is no need for a dedicated input line
- Extract the input number from the command line argument
- This extracted number will be in string type.
- Convert this number into integer type and store it in a variable, say N
- Now check for the below conditions:
- if N is a multiple of 400 and
- if N is multiple of 4 and not multiple of 100
Program:
// C program to check if N is a leap year
// using command line arguments
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> /* atoi */
// Function to check
// if year is a leap year or not
int isLeapYear(int year)
{
// Return 1 if year is a multiple
// 0f 4 and not multiple of 100.
// OR year is multiple of 400.
if (((year % 4 == 0)
&& (year % 100 != 0))
|| (year % 400 == 0))
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
// Driver code
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int n;
// Check if the length of args array is 1
if (argc == 1)
printf("No command line arguments found.\n");
else {
// Get the command line argument and
// Convert it from string type to integer type
// using function "atoi( argument)"
n = atoi(argv[1]);
// Check if n is a leap year
if (isLeapYear(n) == 1)
printf("Yes\n");
else
printf("No\n");
}
return 0;
}
// Java program to check if N is a leap year
// using command line arguments
class GFG {
// Function to check
// if year is a leap year or not
public static int isLeapYear(int year)
{
// Return 1 if year is a multiple
// 0f 4 and not multiple of 100.
// OR year is multiple of 400.
if (((year % 4 == 0)
&& (year % 100 != 0))
|| (year % 400 == 0))
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Check if length of args array is
// greater than 0
if (args.length > 0) {
// Get the command line argument and
// Convert it from string type to integer type
int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
// Check if n is a leap year
if (isLeapYear(n) == 1)
System.out.println("Yes");
else
System.out.println("No");
}
else
System.out.println("No command line "
+ "arguments found.");
}
}
