Hi,

i am having a student attendance record which will display single or entire class attendance. The thing is if i need to have the total no of days a guy is present i can deduce from total working days with present days(in database). I am having a combo box for which i am giving the month names eg: if its march it should get as 31 but if i get feb the prob arises with the leap year. how to solve this Kindly give me some suggestions.
My OP contains: 1.No of days in that month
2.Absent days. 3. Present days.

How exactly did you imagine this? How could you tell from "march" if it is a leap year or not? Give an example please!

Solution 2

there's no way to determine whether its a leap year or not, without knowing the year.

Solution 1

Basic answer is no. The year is the only indicator of if you are in a leap year. Leap year is only ever fourth year so the month wouldn't indicate anything of value in relation to the year.

Your question is not very clear. The short answer is no, you need the year.
If you start with a year that is a leap year, such as 1904, and you know the number of months that have passed you can determine if there has been a multiple of 4 years. However, every 4 years is not a completely accurate way to determine if it is a leap year. See this link[^] for a complete explanation of how to calculate the leap year.
