You may want to correct this. Last time I checked, a statement like:

year % 4;

will return 0, 1, 2, or 3. This would mean that 3 out of every 4 years is a leapyear in your code.

What you probably meant was:

isLeap = (year % 4 == 0) …

the ‘% 100′ and ‘% 400′ expressions are incorrect in the same way as well.

Thanks.
