iOS repl.it - IF Else Challenge Solution

//Don't change this
var aYear =  Int(readLine()!)!

func isLeap(year: Int) {
    
    var leap = "NO"
    
    //IF divisible by 4 with no remainders.
    if year % 4 == 0 {
        leap = "YES"
        //Is leap year, unless:
    }
    if year % 100 == 0 {
        leap = "NO"
        //Is not leap year, unless:
    }
    if year % 400 == 0 {
        leap = "YES"
        //Is leap year.
    }
    
  
    
    print(leap)
    
    
}

//Don't change this
isLeap(year: aYear)

After trying the prior solutions, I found this simple and to the point solution worked. Thanks @surkeela for this. You rock!

what worked for me is:
{ if year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 || year % 400 == 0 {
print("YES")
} else {
print("NO")
} }

This is what worked for me on Playground:

var aYear = 1200 //type in year here.

func isLeap(year: Int) {
//Write your code inside this function.
if aYear % 4 == 0 && aYear % 100 != 0 || aYear % 400 == 0 {print("YES")}
else{print("NO")}
}

isLeap(year: aYear)

I've made a different code and it works in Replit.
But when I put it in exercise swift, which is located inside the lesson, it doesn't approved as a solution.
Why? In Replit it works absolutely correctly..

var aYear = Int(readLine()!)!
func isLeap(year: Int) {

let a = aYear % 4
let b = aYear % 100
let c = aYear % 400

if a == 0 && a != b {print ("YES")}
else if a == c {print ("YES")}
else {print ("NO")}
}

isLeap(year: aYear)

//Don't change this
var aYear = 2020
// (readLine()!)! -readLine() is used to read the input from the user. <-------------------

func isLeap(year: Int) {
if year%4 == 0 && year%100 != 00 || year%400 == 0{
print("Yes")
} else{
print("No")
}
}

//Try out your function with some different years. Don't copy the line below (it's not part of the exercise you need to complete).
isLeap(year: 2020)

//Don't change this
var year = 2000
func isLeap(aYear: Int) {
if (aYear % 4 == 0 || aYear % 400 == 0){
print("YES")
}else if (aYear % 100 == 0){
print("NO")
}else {
print("NO")
}
//Write your code inside this function.

}

//Try out your function with some different years. Don't copy the line below (it's not part of the exercise you need to complete).
isLeap(aYear: year)

var aYear = 1904

func isLeap(year: Int) {
if aYear % 4 == 0 {
if aYear % 100 == 0 && aYear % 400 != 0 {
print("No")
} else {
print("Yes")
}
} else {
print("No")
}
}
isLeap(year: aYear)

Tried to shorten the code lines. But this did not work on playground.

var aYear =  Int(readLine()!)!

func isLeap(year: Int) {
  if year % 4 == 0 && year % 400 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 {
    print("Yes")
  } else {
    print("No")
  }
}

isLeap(year: aYear)

Here's the buildtime message:
error: Playground execution aborted: error: Execution was interrupted, reason: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x18f6dd21c).
The process has been left at the point where it was interrupted, use "thread return -x" to return to the state before expression evaluation.

What could be wrong?

Who can explain what this line is for? Xcode gives an error on it

//Don't change this var aYear = Int(readLine()!)!

This is the request for an input, in this case the year to check for a leap year

var aYear = Int(readLine()!)!

func isLeap(year: Int) {
    if (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0 {
        print("\(year) is a leap year.")
    } else {
        print("\(year) is not a leap year.")
    }
}

isLeap(year: aYear)

it is not working for me.

What is the issue you are getting?

could someone please help me out here, i understand the steps necessary to get isLeap to say whether or not the year is a leap year but i cannot for the life of me understand the "==0" expression.

1. if year % 4 == 0 print yes, 2000 divided by 4 is 500 which is a whole number with no remainder but is not equal to zero
2. if year % 100 != 0 print no, 2000 divided by 100 is equal to 20 which again is not equal to zero but again is a whole number and finally 3. if year % 400 == 0 print yes 2000 divided by 400 is 5 which is a whole number but not equal to zero.

basically i wanna know what zero represents, is it an expression for a whole number?

So here the "==0" is calculate based on the modulus (remainder). Using the example 2000%4 which means that how many multiples of 4 will fit inside the value 2000 and returns the value that's left over which is 0 in this case.

More details check the screenshot below:
In the screenshot you can see at Line89 that the remainder of 2000%4 is 0 as there is no remainder.

If there is anything feel free to ask.
Thanks.

func isLeap(year: Int) {
    if year % 4 == 0 && (year % 100 != 0 || year % 400 == 0) {
        print("YES")
    }
    else{
        print("NO")
    }
}
