Answer 1

The first solution is very straightforward since we just use getDay() to get the day of week, from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).

var dayOfTheWeek = (day, month, year) => {
  const weekday = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
  return weekday[new Date(`${month}/${day}/${year}`).getDay()];
};

console.log(dayOfTheWeek(3, 11, 2020));

The second solution is toLocaleString() built-in method.

var dayOfTheWeek = (day, month, year) => {
  return new Date(year, month - 1, day).toLocaleString("en-US", {
    weekday: "long",
  });
};

console.log(dayOfTheWeek(3, 11, 2020));

The third solution is based on Zeller's congruence.

function zeller(day, month, year) {
  const weekday = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
  if (month < 3) {
    month += 12;
    year--;
  }
  var h = (day + parseInt(((month + 1) * 26) / 10) +
    year + parseInt(year / 4) + 6 * parseInt(year / 100) +
    parseInt(year / 400) - 1) % 7;
  return weekday[h];
}
console.log(zeller(3, 11, 2020));
