WEEKDAY
Field of Application Function returning the weekday of a specified date.
Syntax WEEKDAY()
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
is the date in DATE$ format from which the weekday will be
returned.
Remarks This function returns the weekday as a numeric constant:
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday
7 = Sunday
The date should be entered according to the syntax for the DATE$ variable,
i.e. in the following order:
Year Last two digits (e.g. 1999 = 99)
Month Two digits (01–12)
Day Two digits (01–28|29|30|31)
Example: June 1, 1999 is entered as 990601.
The built-in calendar corrects illegal values for the years 1980 – 2048, e.g. the
illegal date 991232 will be corrected to 000101.
Example In this example the weekday for the current date is printed on the screen of
the host (another way is to use NAME WEEKDAY$ statement and WEEK-
DAY$ function):
10 B$=DATE$
20 A% = WEEKDAY (B$)
30 IF A% = 1 THEN PRINT "MONDAY"
40 IF A% = 2 THEN PRINT "TUESDAY"
50 IF A% = 3 THEN PRINT "WEDNESDAY"
60 IF A% = 4 THEN PRINT "THURSDAY"
70 IF A% = 5 THEN PRINT "FRIDAY"
80 IF A% = 6 THEN PRINT "SATURDAY"
90
RUN
IF A% = 7 THEN PRINT "SUNDAY"
yields e.g.:
THURSDAY
