Below programs illustrate the isLeap() method of Year in Java: Program 1: Java

// Program to illustrate the isLeap() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;

public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create first Year object
        Year firstYear = Year.of(2016);

        // Check if this year object's value is
        // a leap year or not
        System.out.println(firstYear.isLeap());
    }
}

Program 2: Java

// Program to illustrate the isLeap() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;

public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create first Year object
        Year firstYear = Year.of(1990);

        // Check if this year object's value is
        // a leap year or not
        System.out.println(firstYear.isLeap());
    }
