It should be noted that as written it won't take any years before 1900.

But then you go back too far and the whole thing about calenders gets really interesting. That can be a whole article by itself.

It does seem to understand leap years correctly. It does know that 1900 was not a leap year. However it does allow you to input invalid dates like February 30th without complaint. It just treats it as March 1st or 2nd depending on if it was a leap year or not.
