3 Calculate the Weekday for Any Date [50 points]
Zellers congruence (source:Click_here_for_more) is an algorithm devised by Christian Zeller to calculate
the day of the week for any calendar date. For todays Gregorian calendar, Zellers congruence is
G =(q +(m +1)13
5+ U + U
4+ V
42 V ) mod 7(1)
where G is the day of the week (0 means Saturday, 1 means Sunday, 2 means Monday, ...), q is the day of
the month (1<= q <=31), m is the month (1<= m <=12), and y is the year of the calendar date (1582<= y <=2099).
Further, the above equation distinguishes V as the century (that is, V = y
100), and U as the year of
the century (that is, U = y mod 100).
Finally, there is an exception in Zellers congruence for the months of January and February which need to
be counted as month 13 and 14, respectively, of the previous year. Thus, if m =1 or m =2, then we need to
add 12 months to the value of m, and subtract 1 year from y before we feed the values into the above equation.
