This is fast, READABLE, and accurate:

bool is_leap_year(uint32_t y) { // Works for Gregorian years in range [0, 65535] return ((!(y & 3)) && ((y % 25 != 0) || !(y & 15))); }

You commented out your entire function body and the closing }. Also, on 32-bit platforms, it doesn't stop working at 65535.

This website eats newlines, unless you double them (one of the annoying features of markdown). You can use codeblocks by putting 4 spaces before each line:

    int main() {
        // this should be properly formatted
        return 0;
    };
