Data object extension leap year javascript

Question

This is my code so far:

/*function isSchrikkeljaar(year) {
    year = 2016;
    if (//is empty(year)) {
       //use current year
    }
    if (year%4===0 && (year%100!=0 || year%400===0)) {
       return true;
       console.log(true);
    } else {
       return false;
        console.log(false);
    }
}*/

If the year is a leap year it logs true, if not it should log false, if the year is empty it should take the current year. Can anyone help me out, been stuck for a while. The problem is that I don't know how to give it the current year when the year is empty.

Remove the year=2016. do year=year||2016 , this will take 2016 if isSchrikkeljaar — Jonas Wilms, Jan 11 '17 at 14:50
If the logs are not showing, move the `log` statement above `return` otherwise those will not execute. — Tushar, Jan 11 '17 at 14:52

 function isSchrikkeljaar(year) { 
    year = year||new Date().getFullYear();
    if (year%4===0 && (year%100!=0 || year%400===0)) { 
       return true; 
    } else { 
       return false;
    } 
 }

If year is set take year as year, if not take the actual date and get its year.

Use cases:

isSchrikkelyear();//2017 = false
isSchrikkelyear(2016); //false
