C#: Find the day for a particular date

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-57 with Solution

Write a program in C# Sharp to find the day on a particular date.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System; // Importing the System namespace

class dttimeex57 // Declaring a class named dttimeex57
{
    static void Main() // Declaring the Main method
    {
        int yr, mn, dt; // Declaring variables for year, month, and day

        Console.Write("\n\n Find the day for a given date :\n"); // Displaying a message in the console
	    Console.Write("------------------------------------\n"); // Displaying a separator line

        // Input prompts for day, month, and year
	    Console.Write(" Input the Day : ");
        dt = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Write(" Input the Month : ");
        mn = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Write(" Input the Year : ");
        yr = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
		
	    DateTime d = new DateTime(yr, mn, dt); // Creating a DateTime object with the provided year, month, and day
	    Console.WriteLine(" The formatted Date is : {0}", d.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")); // Displaying the formatted input date

        DateTime pp; // Declaring a DateTime variable
        pp = DayOfWeek(d); // Calling the DayOfWeek method to get the day for the given date
	    Console.WriteLine(" The day for the date is : {0}\n ", pp.DayOfWeek); // Displaying the day for the given date
    }

    // Method to get the day of the week for a specific date
    public static DateTime DayOfWeek(DateTime dt)
    {
        DateTime ss = new DateTime(dt.Year, dt.Month, dt.Day); // Creating a new DateTime object representing the same date as the input date
        return ss; // Returning the date
    }    
}

Sample Output:

 Find the day for a given date :                                                                              
------------------------------------                                                                          
 Input the Day : 12                                                                                           
 Input the Month : 06                                                                                         
 Input the Year : 2017                                                                                        
 The formatted Date is : 12/06/2017
