Hi there, I'm trying to write a short function to test whether a year is a leap year or not. To do this I need to check whether the year divides exactly by 4, 100 and 400. I can't think of an easy way to test whether there is a remainder or not. The best I can come up with so far is:
if (year / 4.0) - (year // 4.0) <> 0: This doesn't seem to work, it is always True, is there a problem with the comparison? The arithmetic seems to be the correct way to isolate the remainder of the division. Can anyone suggest a better way of performing this test or alternately, how can I get the line above to work.
