By definition a leap year is any year that is divisible by 4. However if a year is a century year it is only a leap year if it is divisible by 400.

I believe i need a If statement in this program? please help this n00b out :]

EDIT: also he program is going to keep going until a sentinel is entered.

To my knowledge, sentinel is a value that you set to make the program start? is there any more info you can give me? i am new to programming.

int IsLeapYear(int iYear)
{
    if(iYear % 400 == 0) return 1;
    else if(iYear % 100 == 0) return 0;
    else if(iYear % 4 == 0) return 1;
    else return 0;
}

A sentinel is a predefined value (usually one that cannot possible be correct input for the program) that is used to exit a loop. Basically:

read value;

while(value != sentinel) {

    do calculation;

    read value;

}
