Lab #7 - Task 6

Task 6 - for Loop

In a for loop you initialize the counter, evaluate the condition, and increment the counter. Oftentimes you will see this as for ($i = 0; $i <10; $i++) where $i becomes kind of a generic variable for a number. In this task we’re going to work with leap years.

  1. In the for loop initialize the counter by giving a starting value of "2020."
  2. Then evaluate the condition by testing whether the leap year variable is less than 2055. We're going to present all of the leap years between 2020 and 2055.
  3. Then increment the counter. Remember that leap years happen every four years, so that is how you should increment it. You may want to take a look at W3Schools.com for more guidance.
  4. Inside the for loop, create a statement to display each of the leap years. Be sure to include the statements in a paragraph that will display "Year (it will display the year) is a leap year." Add a line break or horizontal rule to separate the lines.

(Hint: Be sure to wrap the line you are displaying in paragraph tags, or use a line break or horizontal rule at the end of each line or everything will run together.)

Year 2020 is a leap year.

Year 2024 is a leap year.

Year 2028 is a leap year.

Year 2032 is a leap year.

Year 2036 is a leap year.

Year 2040 is a leap year.

Year 2044 is a leap year.

Year 2048 is a leap year.

Year 2052 is a leap year.
