public void getDayOfWeek() {
String inputDate = "2/1/04";
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
String[] weekArray = {"Sunday", "Monday" , "Tuesday", "Webnesday", "Thursday", "Friday","Saturday"};
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy"
;
System.out.print(" " + inputDate + " parses as "
try {
now.setTime(formatter.parse(inputDate));
System.out.println(formatter.format(now.getTime()));
System.out.println(weekArray[now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)-1]);
} catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Unparseable using " + formatter + "."
