🔍 How It Works
The core logic follows the Gregorian calendar system and includes a check to determine whether a year is a leap year.
const isLeap = (year % 4 === 0 && year % 100 !== 0) || (year % 400 === 0);
const days = isLeap ? 366 : 365;
const hours = days * 24;
📌 Leap Year Rules:
- A year divisible by 4 is a leap year unless it's also divisible by 100.
- But if it’s divisible by 400, it is still a leap year.
🔢 Calculation:
- Common Year = 365 days × 24 = 8,760 hours
- Leap Year = 366 days × 24 = 8,784 hours
🌟 Use Cases:
- Planning annual work schedules or hourly budgets
- Energy calculations for appliances or systems over a year
- Scientific or astronomical estimations
- Productivity tracking for 365 or 366 days
📈 Fun Fact:
- Over a 4-year cycle, the average number of hours per year is 8,766.
- Leap years keep our calendar in sync with Earth’s orbit around the Sun 🌍
