year

-

integer; the year whose length in days is to be computed

Description

• 

The DaysInYear( year ) command computes the number of days in the year year. The number of days is either 365 for an ordinary year or 366 in a leap year. There is also an exception for the year 1582, the year of calendar reform, which is missing 10 days.

• 

Leap years prior to 1582 occur every four years.  After 1582, the modern leap year rules are used.

• 

Leap years prior to the year 5 were observed inconsistently, and may be historically incorrect.
