2100, 2200 and 2300 will not be leap years.
 
 
The rules for determining leap years are:
 
* If the year is divisible by 4, it will normally be a leap year.  For example, 2016, 2020 and 2024.
* If it is divisible by 100, it will not normally be a leap year. For example, 2100 and 2200.
* An exception to the exception are years divisible by 400. For this reason, 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be one too.
 
 
The reason for the rules is to approximate the true number of astronomical days in a year, which is 365.24.
