/************************************************ | |
* An implementation of Zeller's Congruence - presuming MM/DD/YYYY input | |
* more information here: | |
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeller's_congruence | |
* | |
* TL;DR notes: | |
* - january and february are treated as months 13 & 14 of the previous year | |
* - resulting day number begins on saturday (0 = "Sat", 1 = "Sun", ... , 6 = "Fri") | |
* - actual formula listed below | |
* ********************************************/ | |

int cenYr = yr % 100; | |
int cen = yr / 100; | |
if (mon <= 2) { | |
yr -= 1; | |
mon += 12; | |
} | |
/**************************************** | |
* ALGORITHM: | |
* weekDay = (day + [13(month + 1)/5] + year of century + [year of century/4] + [century/4] - [2*century]) MOD 7 | |
* ************************************/ | |
