How to determine day of week by passing specific date?

Question

For Example I have the date: \"23/2/2010\" (23th Feb 2010). I want to pass it to a function which would return the day of week. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This works correctly...

java.time.LocalDate; //package related to time and date

It provides inbuilt method getDayOfWeek() to get the day of a particular week:

int t;
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
t = s.nextInt();
s.nextLine();
 while(t-->0) { 
    int d, m, y;
    String ss = s.nextLine();
    String []sss = ss.split(" ");
    d=Integer.parseInt(sss[0]);
    m = Integer.parseInt(sss[1]);
    y = Integer.parseInt(sss[2]);

    LocalDate l = LocalDate.of(y, m, d); //method to get the localdate instance
    System.out.println(l.getDayOfWeek()); //this returns the enum DayOfWeek

To assign the value of enum l.getDayOfWeek() to a string, you could probably use the method of Enum called name() that returns the value of enum object.
