C++ Program to Check Leap Year

This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C++ programming topics:
  • C++ if, if...else and Nested if...else
All years which are perfectly divisible by 4 are leap years except for century years (years ending with 00) which is leap year only it is perfectly divisible by 400.
For example: 2012, 2004, 1968 etc are leap year but, 1971, 2006 etc are not leap year. Similarly, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2400 are leap years but, 1700, 1800, 1900 etc are not.
In this program below, user is asked to enter a year and this program checks whether the year entered by user is leap year or not. Read More C++

Example: Check if a year is leap year or not

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int year;

    cout << "Enter a year: ";
    cin >> year;

    if (year % 4 == 0)
    {
        if (year % 100 == 0)
        {
            if (year % 400 == 0)
                cout << year << " is a leap year.";
            else
                cout << year << " is not a leap year.";
        }
        else
            cout << year << " is a leap year.";
    }
    else
        cout << year << " is not a leap year.";

    return 0;
}
Output
Enter a year: 2014
2014 is not a leap year.

Creating a Cursor from a Font Symbol in a WPF Application

Image
Introduction I had to create a large cursor for the application I was working on and, since I was already using a symbol font, decided to use a symbol from the font for the cursor. NOTE The code has been considerably updated to fix issues with the cursor since the initial version. The image in the cursor was not properly centered so that the actual size of the cursor was not close to the value that is specified in the call. The hourglass also now has a three images of the sand going down and then a 90 degree rotation.  The Code I started out trying to use code that I used to generate images from fonts for buttons and such, which is included in the code, and what is used to generate the image in the Sample. That did not work, and I had to search the internet and play around with it a lot. Unfortunately, there seem to be several Microsoft libraries for drawing, and I guess not a lot of thought was put into creating the different ones. The code below is what eventually worked.

C++ Program to Find Quotient and Remainder

In this example, you will learn to find the quotient and remainder of a given dividend and divisor. In this program, user is asked to enter two integers (divisor and dividend) and computes the quotient and remainder. Read More  C++ To compute quotient and remainder, both divisor and dividend should be integers. Example: Compute quotient and remainder #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main () { int divisor , dividend , quotient , remainder ; cout << "Enter dividend: " ; cin >> dividend ; cout << "Enter divisor: " ; cin >> divisor ; quotient = dividend / divisor ; remainder = dividend % divisor ; cout << "Quotient = " << quotient << endl ; cout << "Remainder = " << remainder ; return 0 ; } Output Enter dividend: 13 Enter divisor: 4 Quotient = 3 Remainde

C++ Program to Find All Roots of a Quadratic Equation

This program accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation from the user and displays the roots (both real and complex roots depending upon the determinant). To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C++ programming topics: C++ if, if...else and Nested if...else For a quadratic equation  ax 2 +bx+c = 0  (where a, b and c are coefficients), it's roots is given by following the formula. The term  b 2 -4ac  is known as the determinant of a quadratic equation. The determinant tells the nature of the roots. Read More  C++ If determinant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different. If determinant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal. If determinant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different. Example: Roots of a Quadratic Equation #include <iostream> #include <cmath> using namespace std ; int main () { float a , b , c , x1 , x2 , determinant , realPart , imaginaryPa
