Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is. 1900 is not a leap year, but 2000 is.
If your language provides a method in the standard library that does this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.
Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to learn!
For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year phenomenon, go watch this youtube video.
Go through the setup instructions for ECMAScript to install the necessary dependencies:

Install assignment dependencies:
$ npm installExecute the tests with:
$ npm testIn the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by
changing xtest to test.
