# isLeapYear

> Test if a value corresponds to a [leap year][leap-year] in the [Gregorian calendar][gregorian-calendar].

A [leap year][leap-year] is defined as any year which is exactly divisible by `4`, except for years which are exactly divisible by `100` and not by `400`. In this definition, `100` corresponds to years marking a new century, and `400` corresponds to the length of the _leap cycle_.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isLeapYear = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-leap-year' );
```

#### isLeapYear( \[value] )

Tests if a `value` corresponds to a [leap year][leap-year] in the [Gregorian calendar][gregorian-calendar].

```javascript
var bool = isLeapYear();
// returns <boolean>

bool = isLeapYear( new Date() );
// returns <boolean>

bool = isLeapYear( 2000 );
// returns true

bool = isLeapYear( 2017 );
// returns false
```

</section>

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   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].

-   If provided a `value` which is neither an integer value nor a [`Date`][date-object], the function **always** returns `false`.

    ```javascript
    var bool = isLeapYear( '2016' );
    // returns false

    bool = isLeapYear( null );
    // returns false
    ```
