+ * isLeapYear :: Number -> Boolean
+ *
+ * Check if a year is a leap year or not. A leap year is a year which has 366 days.
+ * For the extra +1 day the February month contains 29 days instead of 28 days.
+ *
+ * The logic behind the leap year is-
+ * 1. If the year is divisible by 400 then it is a leap year.
+ * 2. If it is not divisible by 400 but divisible by 100 then it is not a leap year.
+ * 3. If the year is not divisible by 400 but not divisible by 100 and divisible by 4 then a leap year.
+ * 4. Other cases except the describing ones are not a leap year.
+ *
+ * @param {number} year
+ * @returns {boolean} true if this is a leap year, false otherwise.
