Below programs illustrate the LocalDateTime.getDayOfWeek() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDateTime.getDayOfWeek() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalDateTime Object
        LocalDateTime local
            = LocalDateTime.parse("2018-12-03T12:39:10");

        // get dayofweek for this LocalDateTime
        DayOfWeek dayofweek
            = local.getDayOfWeek();

        // print result
        System.out.println("Day of Week: "
                           + dayofweek);
    }
}

Output:

Day of Week: MONDAY

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDateTime.getDayOfWeek() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalDateTime Object
        LocalDateTime local
            = LocalDateTime.parse("2018-12-29T02:39:10");

        // get dayofweek for this LocalDateTime
        DayOfWeek dayofweek = local.getDayOfWeek();

        // print result
        System.out.println("Day of Week: "
                           + dayofweek);
    }
}
