recognising an integer

[q1120537]

I wish Qbasic to recognise an integer. I need it to distinguish a leap year, ie IF year No. / 4 = integer THEN execute leap year statements.
i cant seem to find a way to do this.

if i mod 4 = 0 then

(x mod y returns remainder of x/y, so it would be 0 if x/y is integer)

 

[CubeE101]

That is the BEST way (using MOD)...

The second best way is to check the number against an integer of itself...

If X = Int(X) then
  'X is an integer
Else
  'X is Not an integer
End if

Just in case a situation rises where you can't or don't want to use MOD ;-)
