Day of the week algorithm

Hi folks,

I found an algorithm for calculating the day of the week here:-

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/calendars/faq/part1/index.html

in the section titled 2.5 what day of the week was 2 august 1953

I checked the algorithm it is very correct.

1)I used zellers congruence which is described in C-FAQ,page no:356,
QNO: 20.31

for the following date 27th december 1985

i used the formula: h = (q + 26 *(m+1)/10 + k + k/4 + j/4 + 5 *j)%7
to get

h = (27 + 26 *(13) /10 +85 + 85/4 + 19/4 + 5 * 19) % 7 to get the
answer
as 0,which is wrong, as the correct answer is friday which
corresponds to 6

1) can any body point out where i have gone wrong

2)can any body explain the statement / give examples

and if January and February are taken as months 13 and 14 of the
previous year [affecting both J and K]; then h for the Gregorian
calendar is the remainder when the sum

which is given here http://c-faq.com/misc/zeller.html

3) on what grounds the values for the array t are set in the following
code by
Tomohiko Sakamoto:
int dayofweek(int y, int m, int d) /* 0 = Sunday */
{
static int t[] = {0, 3, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2, 4};
y -= m < 3;
return (y + y/4 - y/100 + y/400 + t[m-1] + d) % 7;
}

The above formula is equivalent to h = 6, indicating that
the C-FAQ is correct. If you got h = 0 instead, chances are that
you have forgotten to discard the remainders as per the C-FAQ.
1) can any body point out where i have gone wrong

2)can any body explain the statement / give examples

and if January and February are taken as months 13 and 14 of the
previous year [affecting both J and K]; then h for the Gregorian

code by
Tomohiko Sakamoto:
int dayofweek(int y, int m, int d) /* 0 = Sunday */
{
static int t[] = {0, 3, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2, 4};
y -= m < 3;
return (y + y/4 - y/100 + y/400 + t[m-1] + d) % 7;
}
This is exactly the same algorithm used in the Calendar FAQ
you quoted above. Here ``y -= m < 3'' is just a shorthand for
``a = (14 - month) / 12, y = year - a'', and ``t[m-1]'' is just
a shorthand for ``m = month + 12*a - 2, ((31*m)/12)) % 7''.

Things to consider:

(1) The Gregorian calender came into effect in 1583.

(2) Dates prior to 1583 are of the Julian calender.

(3) Thursday October 4th 1582 was followed by Friday October 15th 1582. The
dates 5th through 14th didn't exist.

In the places where it came into effect.

Unless they are in a different calendar system entirely, such as
the Jewish Calendar.

Sounds like you aren't Ukranian or Russian...

....or British, Irish, or American. Our October 1582 was a normal October.
Our September 1752, however, was somewhat minimalist.

cal gets the period a bit confused. For a decent rendition of those
turbulent calendrical times, see

Further things to consider, different countries adopted the Gregorian
calendar at different times, so what you are saying is only true in some
places. Also the Gregorian calendar can be (and is) used for dates prior
to when it was adopted, and the same went for the Julian calendar.

All off topic for here.
