Question
Hey i am doing a question where i had to code the day, month, and year for any given input but i have to take in account of leap years. I have succesfully coded the day, month and year part but the part that i am having a hard time with is to code the leap years. I am suppose to code it from scratch while using NO SPECIAL FUNCTIONS. I was wondering if anybody could help me out! I understand the calculations on how to tell what year is a leap year but i just cant code it. Thanks for you're guys time.
I am working in MATLAB and it would be nice if somebody could comment back with MATLAB coding.
Explanation / Answer
As per my understanding of the Question i have created the code.if still not satisfied please clear mention your code with your code.i will try to help you my best.
% variable used in this program
day = input('Enter the day(1-31) : ');
month = input('Enter the month(1-12) : ');
year = input('Enter the Year(yyyy) : ');
%Check for leap year
if mod(year,400) == 0
leap_flag = 1;
elseif mod(year,100) == 0
leap_flag = 0;
elseif mod(year,4) == 0
leap_flag = 1;
else
leap_flag = 0;
end
% Now determine the day of the year by adding today
day_of_year =day;
for i = 1:month-1
switch (i)
case {1,3,5,7,8,10,12}
day_of_year = day_of_year + 31;
case {4,6,9,11}
day_of_year = day_of_year + 30;
case 2
day_of_year = day_of_year + 28 + leap_flag;
end
end
fprintf('the date %2d/%2d/%4d is day of year %d. ', ...
month,day,year,day_of_year);
