The getDay() method returns the weekday of a date as a number (0-6):
Example
const d = new Date();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.getDay();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.getDay();
In JavaScript, the first day of the week (0) means "Sunday", even if some countries in the world consider the first day of the week to be "Monday"
You can use an array of names, and getDay() to return the weekday as a name:
Example
const d = new Date();
const days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days[d.getDay()];
const days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days[d.getDay()];
