In this definition, `100` corresponds to years marking a new century, and `400` corresponds to the length of the _leap cycle_. 26 27 <section class="usage"> 28 29 ## Usage 30 31 ```javascript 32 var isLeapYear = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-leap-year' ); 33 ``` 34 35 #### isLeapYear( \[value] ) 36 37 Tests if a `value` corresponds to a [leap year][leap-year] in the [Gregorian calendar][gregorian-calendar]. 38 39 ```javascript 40 var bool = isLeapYear(); 41 // returns <boolean> 42 43 bool = isLeapYear( new Date() ); 44 // returns <boolean> 45 46 bool = isLeapYear( 2000 ); 47 // returns true 48 49 bool = isLeapYear( 2017 ); 50 // returns false 51 ``` 52 53 </section> 54 55 <!-- /.usage --> 56 57 <section class="notes"> 58 59 ## Notes 60 61 - If not provided any `arguments`, the function returns a `boolean` indicating if the current year (according to local time) is a [leap year][leap-year]. 62 63 - If provided a `value` which is neither an integer value nor a [`Date`][date-object], the function **always** returns `false`. 64 65 ```javascript 66 var bool = isLeapYear( '2016' ); 67 // returns false 68 69 bool = isLeapYear( null ); 70 // returns false 71 ``` 72 73 </section> 74 75 <!-- /.notes --> 76 77 <section class="examples"> 78 79 ## Examples 80 81 <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> 82 83 ```javascript 84 var isLeapYear = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-leap-year' ); 85 86 var bool; 87 var i; 88 89 for ( i = 0; i < 2021; i++ ) { 90 bool = isLeapYear( i ); 91 console.log( 'The year %d %s a leap year.', i, ( bool ) ?
