JavaScript: Find 1st January be a Sunday between a range of years
JavaScript Basic: Exercise-7 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to find which 1st January is being a Sunday between 2014 and 2050.
Sample Solution:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>A Program to find 1st January is being a Sunday between 2014 and 2050.</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
console.log('--------------------');
for (var year = 2014; year <= 2050; year++)
{
var d = new Date(year, 0, 1);
if ( d.getDay() === 0 )
console.log("1st January is being a Sunday "+year);
}
console.log('--------------------');
Sample Output:
-------------------- 1st January is being a Sunday 2017 1st January is being a Sunday 2023 1st January is being a Sunday 2034 1st January is being a Sunday 2040 1st January is being a Sunday 2045 --------------------
Explanation:
Declaring a JavaScript date : In JavaScript Date objects are based on a time value that is the number of milliseconds since 1 January, 1970 UTC. You can declare a date in the following ways :
new Date(); new Date(value); new Date(dateString); new Date(year, month[, day[, hour[, minutes[, seconds[, milliseconds]]]]]);
The getDay() method is used to get the day of the week for the specified date according to local time, where 0 represents Sunday. The value returned by getDay() is an integer corresponding to the day of the week: 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, and so on.
Flowchart:

ES6 Version:
console.log('--------------------');
for (let year = 2014; year <= 2050; year++)
{
const d = new Date(year, 0, 1);
if ( d.getDay() === 0 )
console.log(`1st January is being a Sunday ${year}`);
}
console.log('--------------------');

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Returns the sum of the powers of all the numbers from start to end (both inclusive)
Example:
const sumPower = (end, power = 2, start = 1) => Array(end + 1 - start) .fill(0) .map((x, i) => (i + start) ** power) .reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0); console.log(sumPower(10)); // 385 console.log(sumPower(10, 3)); // 3025 console.log(sumPower(10, 3, 5)); // 2925
Output:
385 3025 2925
