'Day of week

DEFINT A-Z
Days$ = "FRISATSUNMONTUEWEDTHU"
INPUT "MM,DD,YYYY: ", M, D, Y     'or extract from DATE$ (Add 1900 to YY)
X = -INT((1 / (M + 1) + .7))
Z& = INT((M + 1 - 12 * X) * 30.6001) + INT((Y + X) * 365.25) + D
X = Z& - 7 * (Z& \ 7)
DayOfWeek$ = MID$(Days$, X * 3 + 1, 3)
PRINT DayOfWeek$
