    {
        // Getting an instance of DayOfWeek from int value
        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.of(4);

        // Printing the day of the week
        // and its Int value
        System.out.println("Day of the Week - "
                           + dayOfWeek.name());
        System.out.println("Int Value of "
                           + dayOfWeek.name() + " - "
                           + dayOfWeek.getValue());
    }
}

Output:

Program 2:

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

class DayOfWeekExample {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Getting an instance of DayOfWeek from int value
        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.of(7);

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