    Default My code condition statement issue

    Hello ! I started programming java a while ago and I tend to do challenges that will help in my studies.

    I am doing a leap year calculator and the parameter needs to be in range 1 -9999 else it will returned false though my code is incorrect.

    so this is my code :
       public static boolean isLeapYear(int year)
     
        {
     
            boolean result = false;
     
     
           if ( (year >= 1) && (year <= 9999) && (year % 400 == 0) || (year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) )
                result = true;
     
            return result;
     
        }

    Default Re: My code condition statement issue

    How are you trying to debug the code? I suggest using print statements that print out the values of all the subexpressions so you can see which one(s) are not evaluating the way you want.

    You may be having a problem with operator precedence. See the tutorial:https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutor...operators.html

    Use ()s To make sure the operators are evaluated in the desired order.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
