Getting the Weekday of the specified date in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create a date object using the Date() function. Then we will get the weekday of the specified date using the Weekday() function and print the result on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to get the Weekday of the specified date is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to get the Weekday of the specified date

// Golang program to get the Weekday of the specified date

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
	date := time.Date(2021, 3, 20, 10, 5, 20, 0, time.UTC)

	fmt.Println("Weekday is: ", date.Weekday())
}

Output:

Weekday is:  Saturday

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt and time packages to use time and fmt related functions.

In the main() function, we created a date-time object using Date() function. Then we got the weekday of a specific date using Weekday() function and print the result on the console screen.
