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?
I
Program to find the day of the week by giving user input date month and year using java.util.scanner
package:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Calender {
public static String getDay(String day, String month, String year) {
int ym, yp, d, ay, a = 0;
int by = 20;
int[] y = new int[]{6, 4, 2, 0};
int[] m = new int []{0, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5};
String[] wd = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
int gd = Integer.parseInt(day);
int gm = Integer.parseInt(month);
int gy = Integer.parseInt(year);
ym = gy % 100;
yp = ym / 4;
ay = gy / 100;
while (ay != by) {
by = by + 1;
a = a + 1;
if(a == 4) {
a = 0;
}
}
if ((ym % 4 == 0) && (gm == 2)) {
d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a] - 1) % 7;
} else
d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a]) % 7;
return wd[d];
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String day = in.next();
String month = in.next();
String year = in.next();
System.out.println(getDay(day, month, year));
}
}
