Replace != in (year % 400) != 0 (line 49) with ==

Justification: Years that are divisible by 100 (centurian == 100) but not by 400 (year % 400 != 0) are skipped and NOT leap year.

Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
  • Documentation change?

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized.
  • I know that pull requests will not be merged if they fail the automated tests.
  • This PR only changes one algorithm file. To ease review, please open separate PRs for separate algorithms.
  • All new Python files are placed inside an existing directory.
  • All filenames are in all lowercase characters with no spaces or dashes.
  • All functions and variable names follow Python naming conventions.

Replace `!=` in `(year % 400) != 0` (line 49) with `==`

Justification: Years that are divisible by 100 (centurian == 100) but not by 400 (year % 400 != 0) are skipped and NOT leap year.
