Function DayOfTheWeek(day, month, year) ; Algorithm considers Jan/Feb to be months 13 and 14 of previous year. If month < 3 month = month + 12 year = year - 1 EndIf ; For readability's sake. Local century = year / 100 Local year_cent = year Mod 100 ; Find the weekday using Zeller's congruence. Local weekday = day + (26(month+1))/10 + year_cent ; Account for leap year. weekday = weekday + year_cent/4 + century/4 + 5century ; It's not Pluterday. weekday = (weekday + 5) Mod 7 + 1 Return weekday End Function --v
