Below program illustrate the above method:
Program 1:

// Java Program Demonstrate getValue()
// method of DayOfWeek
import java.time.*;
import java.time.DayOfWeek;

class DayOfWeekExample {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Set a local date whose day is found
        LocalDate localDate
            = LocalDate.of(1947,
                           Month.AUGUST, 15);

        // Find the day from the local date
        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek
            = DayOfWeek.from(localDate);

        // Printing the day of the week
        // and its Int value
        System.out.println("Day of the Week on"
                           + " 15th August 1947 - "
                           + dayOfWeek.name());

        int val = dayOfWeek.getValue();

        System.out.println("Int Value of "
                           + dayOfWeek.name()
                           + " - " + val);
    }
}

Output:

Day of the Week on 15th August 1947 - FRIDAY
Int Value of FRIDAY - 5

Program 2:

// Java Program Demonstrate getValue()
// method of DayOfWeek
import java.time.*;
import java.time.DayOfWeek;

class DayOfWeekExample {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Set a local date whose day is found
        LocalDate localDate
            = LocalDate.of(2015,
                           Month.JULY, 13);

        // Find the day from the local date
        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek
            = DayOfWeek.from(localDate);

        // Printing the day of the week
        // and its Int value
        System.out.println("Day of the Week on"
                           + " 13th July 2015 - "
                           + dayOfWeek.name());

        int val = dayOfWeek.getValue();

        System.out.println("Int Value of "
                           + dayOfWeek.name()
                           + " - " + val);
    }
}

Output:

Day of the Week on 13th July 2015 - MONDAY
Int Value of MONDAY - 1
