Check Leap Year

In this lab, your task is to implement a checkLeapYear function that takes a valid integer representing a year and returns true if the year is a leap year and false if it is not. Make sure to properly account for the century years.

Leap Year Rules

A year is a leap year if it meets the following criteria:

1. A year is a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4.
2. A year is not a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 100, unless it is also evenly divisible by 400.

Examples

• Year 2000: Divisible by 400, so it is a leap year -> true
• Year 1900: Divisible by 100 but not by 400, so it is not a leap year -> false
• Year 2020: Divisible by 4 and not by 100, so it is a leap year -> true
• Year 2021: Not divisible by 4, so it is not a leap year -> false

Instructions

1. Implement the checkLeapYear function in the codedamn package.
2. The function should take an integer representing the year as input.
3. The function should return a boolean:
   • true if the year is a leap year.
   • false if the year is not a leap year.

Function Signature

package codedamn

func checkLeapYear(year int) bool {
    // Your code here
}

Challenges

Your implementation will be tested against the following challenges:

Challenge 1: Test for Year 2024

• Description: Verify that the checkLeapYear function correctly identifies the year 2024 as a leap year.
• Input: 2024
• Expected Output: true

Challenge 2: Test for Year 2100

• Description: Verify that the checkLeapYear function correctly identifies the year 2100 as not a leap year.
• Input: 2100
• Expected Output: false

Challenge 3: Test for Year 2000

• Description: Verify that the checkLeapYear function correctly identifies the year 2000 as a leap year.
• Input: 2000
• Expected Output: true

Challenge 4: Test for Year 1996

• Description: Verify that the checkLeapYear function correctly identifies the year 1996 as a leap year.
• Input: 1996
• Expected Output: true

Guidelines

• Make sure to create a proper helper function to validate if a year is a leap year or not instead of hardcoding the boolean values in the tests.
• Ensure that your function handles all edge cases, especially century years.
• The environment is already set up for you; you do not need to configure anything and can start coding immediately.
