Java Date and Time

Java Date and Time

HackerRanktestinganswers.com

The Calendar class is an abstract class that provides methods for converting between a specific instant in time and a set of calendar fields such as YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, HOUR, and so on, and for manipulating the calendar fields, such as getting the date of the next week.

You are given a date. You just need to write the method, getDay, which returns the day on that date. To simplify your task, we have provided a portion of the code in the editor.

Example:
month=8
day=14

year=2017

The method should return MONDAY as the day on that date.
