Task
Day of the week
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A company decides that whenever Xmas falls on a Sunday they will give their workers all extra paid holidays so that, together with any public holidays, workers will not have to work the following week (between the 25th of December and the first of January).

In what years between 2008 and 2121 will the 25th of December be a Sunday?

Using any standard date handling libraries of your programming language; compare the dates calculated with the output of other languages to discover any anomalies in the handling of dates which may be due to, for example, overflow in types used to represent dates/times similar to y2k type problems.

[edit] C#

using System;
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
for (int i = 2008; i <= 2121; i++)
{
DateTime date = new DateTime(i, 12, 25);
 
if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
{
Console.WriteLine(date.ToString("dd MMM yyyy"));
}
}
 
}
}

Using LINQ:

using System;
using System.Linq;
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] days = (from day in
(from year in Enumerable.Range(2008, 2121 - 2007)
select new DateTime(year, 12, 25))
where day.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday
select day.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")).ToArray();
 
foreach (string day in days) Console.WriteLine(day);
}
}

This looks better:

using System;
using System.Linq;
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] days = Enumerable.Range(2008, 2121 - 2007)
.Select(year => new DateTime(year, 12, 25))
.Where(day => day.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
.Select(day => day.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")).ToArray();
 
foreach (string day in days) Console.WriteLine(day);
}
}

Lambda expressions FTW:

using System;
using System.Linq;
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Enumerable.Range(2008, 113).ToList()
.ConvertAll(ent => new DateTime(ent, 12, 25))
.Where(ent => ent.DayOfWeek.Equals(DayOfWeek.Sunday)).ToList()
.ForEach(ent => Console.WriteLine(ent.ToString("dd MMM yyyy")));
}
}

[edit] Delphi

procedure IsXmasSunday(fromyear, toyear: integer);
var
i: integer;
TestDate: TDateTime;
outputyears: string;

if dayofweek(TestDate) = 1 then
begin
outputyears := outputyears + inttostr(i) + ' ';
end;
end;
form1.label1.caption := outputyears;
end;

Procedure called with year range to test and outputs a space-delimited array of years to a label. There is no error check that fromyear < toyear, but this is easily added.

output: 2011 2016 2022 2033 2039 2044 2050 2061 2067 2072 2078 2089 2095 2101 2107 2112 2118

[edit] Forth

Forth has only TIME&DATE, which does not give day of week. Many public Forth Julian date calculators had year-2100 problems, but this algorithm works well.

\ Zeller's Congruence
: zeller ( m -- days since March 1 )

: weekday ( d m y -- 0..6 ) \ Monday..Sunday

To show year-2100 problems with SwiftForth's provided Modified Julian Day support:

: yuletide
." December 25 is Sunday in "
2122 2008 do
25 12 i d/m/y
7 mod 0= if i . then
loop cr ;

[edit] Groovy

Solution:

def yuletide = { start, stop -> (start..stop).findAll { Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd", "${it}-12-25").format("EEE") == "Sun" } }

Test program:

println yuletide(2008, 2121)

Output:

main = mapM_ putStrLn ["25 December " ++ show year ++ " is Sunday"
| year <- [2008..2121], isXmasSunday year]

25 December 2095 is Sunday
25 December 2101 is Sunday
25 December 2107 is Sunday
25 December 2112 is Sunday
25 December 2118 is Sunday

The built-in System.Time module overflows at the Unix epoch in 2038:

[edit] Modula-3

Translation of: C

Modula-3 represents time using a (safe) wrapper around the C time interface. Consequently, it suffers from the same problem as C.

MODULE Yule EXPORTS Main;
 
IMPORT IO, Fmt, Date, Time;
 
VAR date: Date.T;
time: Time.T;
 
BEGIN
FOR year := 2008 TO 2121 DO
date.day := 25;
date.month := Date.Month.Dec;
date.year := year;
 
TRY
time := Date.ToTime(date);
EXCEPT
| Date.Error =>
IO.Put(Fmt.Int(year) & " is the last year we can specify\n");
EXIT;
END;
 
date := Date.FromTime(time);
 
IF date.weekDay = Date.WeekDay.Sun THEN
IO.Put("25th of December " & Fmt.Int(year) & " is Sunday\n");
END;
END;
END Yule.

Output:

25th of December 2011 is Sunday
25th of December 2016 is Sunday
25th of December 2022 is Sunday
25th of December 2033 is Sunday

Using the DateTime module from CPAN:

foreach my $i (2008 .. 2121)

month => 12,

);
if ( $dt->day_of_week == 7 )
{
print "25 Dec $i is Sunday\n";

}
 
exit 0;

or shorter:

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
 
use DateTime;
use strict;
 
for (2008 .. 2121) {
print "25 Dec $_ is Sunday\n"
if DateTime->new(year => $_, month => 12, day => 25)->day_of_week == 7;

Alternatively in one line using grep (read from right to left):

print join " ", grep { DateTime->new(year => $_, month => 12, day => 25)->day_of_week == 7 } (2008 .. 2121);

[edit] Perl 6

Works with: Rakudo version 2010.07

As Perl 5, except DateTime is built-in, so you don't need to download a module of that name:

say join ' ', grep { Date.new($_, 12, 25).day-of-week == 7 }, 2008 .. 2121;

I.e., starting from year 2038, the date command (which uses the glibc library, at least on GNU systems), is not able to recognise the date as a valid one!

[edit] Ursala

A standard library, stt, provides basic date manipulation functions, and is imported in this example. Unix era times denominated in seconds since 1969 (excluding leap seconds) are represented as natural numbers with unlimited precision. Results are valid for the arbitrarily distant future assuming the Gregorian calendar remains in effect.

The algorithm relies on the string_to_time function converting a date expressed as a character string to seconds without needing a weekday field in the input, and the time_to_string function outputting the corresponding date with the weekday included. The output is then filtered for Sundays.

#import std
#import nat
#import stt
 
christmases = time_to_string* string_to_time*TS 'Dec 25 0:0:0 '-*@hS %nP* nrange/2008 2121
 
#show+
 
sunday_years = ~&zS sep` * =]'Sun'*~ christmases
