I guess you are following the old rule that a year is a leap year if it is exactly divisible by four with no remainder except for those years ending in double zero which are not leap years. The next exception is that it is a leap year if it ends in triple zero. So 2000 is a leap year. Check any reputable almanac. Close, but not quite. A year is a leap year if divisible by 4 unless a century which is only a leap year if divisible by 400. There is another exception that I've seen one time but can't rapidly find with a search that a century divisible by 5000 or 25000 or something like that is not a leap year.
