Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise9 {

    
  public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Input the year: ");
        int year = in.nextInt();

        boolean x = (year % 4) == 0;
        boolean y = (year % 100) != 0;
        boolean z = ((year % 100 == 0) && (year % 400 == 0));

        if (x && (y || z))
        {
            System.out.println(year + " is a leap year");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println(year + " is not a leap year");
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

Input the year: 2016

Java: Tips of the Day

IsPowerOfTwo

Checks if a value is positive power of two.

To understand how it works let's assume we made a call IsPowerOfTwo(4).

As value is greater than 0, so right side of the && operator will be evaluated.

The result of (~value + 1) is equal to value itself. ~100 + 001 => 011 + 001 => 100. This is equal to value.

The result of (value & value) is value. 100 & 100 => 100.

This will value the expression to true as value is equal to value.

public static boolean isPowerOfTwo(final int value) {
    return value > 0 && ((value & (~value + 1)) == value);
}
