Get name of the day

问题

how can I get the name of the day in Ruby.

For eg. something like that:

a = Date.today
a.day_name 
  => Tuesday

the only thing i could find was .wday but that only returns for the number of the day in the week

a.wday 
  => 2

回答1:

Time.now.strftime("%A")
# => "Tuesday"

or

Date.today.strftime("%A")
# => "Tuesday"
