Python How to Find Day of the Week

DAY of the week Python code you will know here. One is from Calendar, and another one is from a function. Here, I have given my ideas on a better method. Also, the result you can get in a tuple. You might also like Attitude is Everything That Changes Your Life.

Python: Day of Week How to Calculate

1. Python Logic to get Day of Week from Calendar

from datetime import datetime
import calendar
dt = datetime.today()
dn = dt.weekday()

print("Today is day number: {0}".format(dn))
print("Today is a {0}".format(calendar.day_name[dn]))

Here, the print uses string.format method to print output.

Check out the best example to use this method.

The Output

The result from the first logic

Instead of directly using DateTime, you can write a function - that creates a tuple with Day of week and Day name.

2. Python Logic to get Day and Day_name 

User defined function

from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
import calendar
def DayOfWeek(d=None):
if d == None:
d = datetime.today()
dn = d.weekday()
return (dn, calendar.day_name[dn])

print(DayOfWeek())
d2 = datetime.today() + timedelta(1)
print(DayOfWeek(d2))

Here, DayOfWeek is a function. You assigned None to d. In the IF, for 'd' and 'dn', you have assigned values. When you Print executes, it returns two values as a tuple.

An object is simply a collection of data (variables) and methods (functions) that act on those data. Similarly, a class is a blueprint for that object.
