ZonedDateTime getDayOfWeek() method in Java with Examples

The getDayOfWeek() method of a ZonedDateTime class is used to get the day-of-week field from this ZonedDateTime, which is an enum DayOfWeek.Additional information can be obtained from the DayOfWeek. This includes textual names of the values.

Syntax:

public DayOfWeek getDayOfWeek()

Parameters: This method does not take any parameters.

Return value: This method returns an enum DayOfWeek representing day-of-week.

Below programs illustrate the getDayOfWeek() method:

Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.getDayOfWeek() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create a ZonedDateTime object
        ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
            = ZonedDateTime.parse(
                "2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]");
  
        // get day-of-week field
        DayOfWeek value = zoneddatetime.getDayOfWeek();
  
        // print result
        System.out.println("day-of-week:" + value);
    }
}


Output:

day-of-week:THURSDAY

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.getDayOfWeek() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create a ZonedDateTime object
        ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
            = ZonedDateTime.parse(
                "2018-10-24T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]");
  
        // get day-of-week field
        DayOfWeek value = zoneddatetime.getDayOfWeek();
  
        // print result
        System.out.println("day-of-week:" + value);
    }
}


Output:

day-of-week:WEDNESDAY
