Determing leap year using "if statement"

[jdm113497]

I am writing a program to determine whether or not a year is a leap year, using if statements. This is what I have. It compiles with no errors, but doesn't print anything after the year has been entered. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;

class Ch5Pr12 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

int year;

System.out.println("Year: ");
year = scanner.nextInt( );

if (year%4 == 0) {
if (year%10 != 0) {
System.out.print(year + " is a leap year.");
} else {
if (year%400 == 0) {
System.out.println(year + " is a leap year.");
} else {
System.out.println(year + " is not a leap year.");
}
}
}
}
}

Maybe you are entering a non-leap year and since there no other condition other than being

if (year%4 == 0)

then surely it will print nothing if it is non-leap.
concentrate on your if statements and conditions, if one is not true then what well happen.

But isn't that what the else statement should do?

and a simple advice for another time, when you want to add a code put it in code form for it to be clearer, and one more thing, when you have one same output for two conditions you can use || between them in the same if statement, and this means if condition1 OR condition2 is true.
in this way

 if (condition1 || condition2){
// what your want it to perform
}

Yes it should but if a year doesn't satisfy the condition %4 == 0 then what would it do ?
You did use an else but in a wrong place. remember that if a year doesn't satisfy the first condition it just never enters to its body, and if it doesn't find any other solution it will perform nothing; and this is what's happening with your code

You should use elseif instead of putting else{if, its very inefficient.

Well, maybe slightly harder to read, but I wouldn't say "inefficient".

Figured this one out, thanks for the help.
