No, a century is exactly 100 years.
-99
The year 79 A.D. was in the First Century. Years 0 to 99 AD were in the first century after the start of the calendar (supposedly the death of Christ) - hence the First Century.
99
The years 0-99 are referred to as the 1st century. The 1900's were referred to as the 20th century and therefore the year 2000 was referred to as the twenty first century. Sorry if this explanation doesn't make much sense or doesn't answer your question correctly.
You may be referring to the way the 1900s were called the 20th century for example. First, the 1900s are slightly out of alignment with the 20th century which is why people confuse them. You are not referring to the same years. So the 1900s refers to 1900 to 1999 whereas the 20th century refers to 1901 to 2000. Both are correct in their own right in talking about the 1900s or talking about the 20th century, but they do not refer to the same years. The 19th century and the 1900s are completely different, as the 19th century was 1801 to 1900, so had only one year in common with the 1900s, namely the year 1900. The 20th century is the 20th group of 100 years, so it ended at 2000. If the century and the the digits they start with were the same, I.E. the 19th Century was the years 1900 to 1999, then by default the 1st Century would have to be the years 100 to 199. If that were the case, then what would the year 1 to 99 be called, the Zero Century? Also, it would only be 99 years, as there was no year zero. The first century was year 1 to year 100. It didn't start with year 100 or the mythical year zero. The 2nd century was the second group of 100 years, so from 101 to 200. We are now in the 21st century, which is the 21st group of 100 years, so it runs from 2001 to 2100. People will refer to 2000 to 2099 as the 2000s.
The first century, covering the years 1 through 99.
-99
The years 0 thru 99 is the 1st century. The years 100 thru 199 is the second century. It sounds weird but 0 thru 99 is the first century that we went thru and 100 thru 199 is the second century that we went thru. Therefore 2000 thru 2099 is the 21st century that we are going thru. You have to count the century before it as time past. It used to confuse me too.

The century for the year 1348 would be, the 14th century. To find this out, if the year is above 99 then you take the numbers in both the thousands place and the hundreds place. The will then form a number between 1 and 20, then you add one to that number. This is to account for the first century (years 0 to 99).

1st. century. A century is 100 years, so logically, the first century is 1-100, the second century 101-200, etc. Sometimes a slightly different calculation is used: first century 1-99, second century 100-199, etc. AD means "ano domini" - after Christ.
The years 0-99 are referred to as the 1st century. The 1900's were referred to as the 20th century and therefore the year 2000 was referred to as the twenty first century. Sorry if this explanation doesn't make much sense or doesn't answer your question correctly.
The 99 Buick Century 231 engine will fit into a 96 Chevy lumina with a little fabrication.
There is a year that ends in 99 in every century. It is the second last year of the century. So the 20th century ran from 1901 to 2000. What causes a little confusion is when we talk about something like the 1900s. They ran from 1900 to 1999, but that is not the same as the 20th century.
