Given two integers Y and B representing two years, the task is to find the day of the week in which 1st January of the year Y lies assuming that 1st January of the year B was a Monday.

Examples:

Input:
Y = 2020
B = 1900
Output:
Wednesday
Explanation:
01/01/2020 was a Wednesday considering that 01/01/1900 was a Monday

Input:
Y = 2020
B = 1905
Output:
Thursday
Explanation:
01/01/2020 was a Wednesday assuming that 01/01/1905 was a Monday

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  1. Total years lying between base year (B) and the year (Y) is equal to (Y – 1) – B.
  2. Total number of leap years lying in between = Total years / 4
  3. Total number of non-leap years in between = Total Years – Leap Years.
  4. Total Days = Total Leap Years * 366 + Non-Leap Years * 365 + 1.
  5. Therefore, the day of the 1st January of Y is Total Days % 7.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++14




// C++ Implementation of
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the day of
// 1st January of Y year
void findDay(int Y, int B)
{
    int lyear, rest, totaldays, day;
 
    // Count years between
    // years Y and B
    Y = (Y - 1) - B;
 
    // Count leap years
    lyear = Y / 4;
 
    // Non leap years
    rest = Y - lyear;
 
    // Total number of days in the years
    // lying between the years Y and B
    totaldays = (rest * 365)
                + (lyear * 366) + 1;
 
    // Actual day
    day = (totaldays % 7);
 
    if (day == 0)
        printf("Monday");
 
    else if (day == 1)
        printf("Tuesday");
 
    else if (day == 2)
        printf("Wednesday");
 
    else if (day == 3)
        printf("Thursday");
 
    else if (day == 4)
        printf("Friday");
 
    else if (day == 5)
        printf("Saturday");
 
    else if (day == 6)
        printf("Sunday");
 
    else
        printf("INPUT YEAR IS WRONG!");
}

{
    int Y = 2020, B = 1900;
    findDay(Y, B);
 
    return 0;
}
