Question

in terms of math, if i said "since the measure was adopted in england in 1752" (and y represents y),
could i write y>1752.

Answer 1

if y represents year then yes

Answer 2

here is the orginal probem:
Before 1752 there is a leap year for every four years according to the Julian calander. Namely if the year is divisible by 4, there are 29 days in Feburary. Since the Gregorian calander is adopted in England in 1752, the leap year rule has been changed as follows: If the year is divisible by 4, it is a leap year except if it is divisble by 100. If the year is divisble by 400, however, it is again a leap year. Write a program that, for input years, outputs true or false depeding on the year to be a leap year or not.

Answer 3

so this problem has to be broken up into levels, the first being the year, and so on,


now for the years, the first would be


1752>=y


and the second would be


1752<y

??

Answer 4

befor 1752 would be 1752 > y wouldn't it?

Answer 5

since 1752 would be \(y \ge 1752\)

Answer 6

because "since" includes 1752 itself

Answer 7

from reading the problem myself, i also get that 1752>y, then for the second part we would have 1752<=y

Answer 8

since the gregorian was adopted in 1752

Answer 9

right

Answer 10

okay, i guess. I just wanted to see what other thought, cause the answer makes it seem like its y<=1752

Answer 11

the answer is y <= 1752???

Answer 12

thats was it says, thats how it is broken down interms of the years.

Answer 13

it should be y < 1752 then y \(\ge\) 1752.....

Answer 14

but i would think that 1752 would be in included in the years for the gregorian calander requirments

Answer 15

yes. should be

Answer 16

its weird, i was thinking that i might bot be catching the correct meaing of the words or something.

Answer 17

since means from 1752 onwards

Answer 18

yeah, i changed it in my program to say y<1752

Answer 19

and it still ran fine, so i guess wer're good

Answer 20

computers are weird

Answer 21

thanks guys

Answer 22

yeah,they can be

Answer 23
