Program to check leap year in Python

Conceptual Knowledge :

Leap Year:
A year is called a leap year if it contains an additional day which makes the number of the days in that year is 366. This additional day is added in February which makes it 29 days long.
A leap year occurred once every 4 years
We should follow the following steps to determine whether a year is a leap year or not.

If a year is evenly divisible by 4 means having no remainder then go to next step. If it is not divisible by 4. It is not a leap year. For example: 1997 is not a leap year.
If a year is divisible by 4, but not by 100. For example: 2012, it is a leap year. If a year is divisible by both 4 and 100, go to next step.
If a year is divisible by 100, but not by 400. For example: 1900, then it is not a leap year. If a year is divisible by both, then it is a leap year. So 2000 is a leap year.

Source code:

 
def CheckLeap(Year):  
    
  if((Year % 400 == 0) or  
     (Year % 100 != 0) and  
     (Year % 4 == 0)):   
    print("Given Year is a leap Year");  
    
  else:  
    print ("Given Year is not a leap Year")  
  
Year = int(input("Enter the number: "))  
 
CheckLeap(Year)

Step wise Source Code Explanation :

Step 1 : Default function to implement conditions to check leap year
def CheckLeap(Year):
Step 2 : Checking if the given year is leap year
if((Year % 400 == 0) or
(Year % 100 != 0) and
(Year % 4 == 0)):
print(“Given Year is a leap Year”);
Step 3 :# Else it is not a leap year
else:
print (“Given Year is not a leap Year”)
Step 4: Taking an input year from user
Year = int(input(“Enter the number: “))
CheckLeap(Year)

Output :

Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul  8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

 RESTART: C:/Users/ARCHIT/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/test1.py 
Enter the number: 2000
Given Year is a leap Year
>>> 
 RESTART: C:/Users/ARCHIT/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/test1.py 
Enter the number: 1000
Given Year is not a leap Year
>>>

Output Explanation :

The year is captured.
Enter the number: 2000
It is calculated what the given year is
Given Year is a leap Year
Next Output after new run command
Enter the number: 1000
Given Year is not a leap Year

Conclusion :

Leap years are calculated correctly by the given program.
