How to Get Current Weekday in Golang?

With the help of time.Now().Weekday() function, we can get the weekday in Golang by importing time module.

Syntax: time.Now().Weekday()
Return: Return current weekday.

Example #1: In this example, we can see that by using time.Now().Weekday() function, we are able to get the weekday.

// Golang program to get the current weekday
package main

// Here "fmt" is formatted IO which
// is same as C’s printf and scanf.
import "fmt"

// importing time module
import "time"

// Main function
func main() {

    // Using time.Now().Weekday() function.
    dt := time.Now().Weekday()
    fmt.Println(dt.String())
}

Output:

Monday

Example #2:

// Golang program to get the current weekday
package main

// Here "fmt" is formatted IO which
// is same as C’s printf and scanf.
import "fmt"

// importing time module
import "time"

// Main function
func main() {

    // Using time.Now().Weekday() function
    dt := time.Now().Weekday()
    fmt.Println(int(dt))

}
