We are working towards making exercises stand-alone. That is to say: no more generating READMEs on the fly. This will give maintainers more control over each individual exercise README, and it will also make some of the backend logic for delivering exercises simpler. The README template uses the Go text/template package, and the default templates generate the same READMEs as we have been generating on the fly. See the documentation in [regenerating exercise readmes][regenerate-docs] for details. The READMEs can be generated at any time using a new 'generate' command in configlet. This command has not yet landed in master or been released, but can be built from source in the generate-readmes branch on [configlet][].

Leap
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.
Notes
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.
Elm Installation
Refer to the Exercism help page for Elm installation and learning resources.
Writing the Code
The first time you start an exercise, you'll need to ensure you have the appropriate dependencies installed.
$ npm install
Execute the tests with:
$ npm test
Automatically run tests again when you save changes:
$ npm run watch
As you work your way through the test suite, be sure to remove the skip <|
calls from each test until you get them all passing!
