The previous article was submitted stating that the author was not
sure whether the Year 2000 was a leap year. This not being sure is
actually a portion of the problem referred to as the Year 2000 problem.


The year 2000 is a leap year. The three rules which the Gregorian 
calendar uses to determine leap year are as follows:

      1.Years divisible by four are leap years, unless...
      2.Years also divisible by 100 are not leap years, except...
      3.Years divisible by 400 are leap years.

Therefore, the year 2000 is a leap year according to rule number three.
