More straightforward solution:

AppleScript's weekday constants can be coerced either to English text or to the integers 1 (for Sunday) to 7 (Saturday).

on lastSundayOfEachMonthInYear(y)
	-- Initialise an AppleScript date to the first day of some month in the specified year.
	tell (current date) to set {firstDayOfNextMonth, its day, its year} to {it, 1, y}
	
	-- Get a string representation of y, zero-padded if necessary, and initialise the output string.
	set y to text 2 thru 5 of ((10000 + y) as text)
	set outputText to "./last_sundays " & y
	repeat with nextMonth from 2 to 13 -- Yes!
		-- For each month in the year, get the first day of the following month.
		set firstDayOfNextMonth's month to nextMonth
		-- Calculate the date of the Sunday which occurs in the seven days prior to that
		-- by subtracting a day plus the difference between the previous day's weekday and the target weekday.
		set lastSundayOfThisMonth to firstDayOfNextMonth - (1 + ((firstDayOfNextMonth's weekday) + 5) mod 7) * days
		-- Append the required details to the output text.
		set {month:m, day:d} to lastSundayOfThisMonth
		tell (10000 + m * 100 + d) as text to ¬
			set outputText to outputText & (linefeed & y & "-" & text 2 thru 3 & "-" & text 4 thru 5)
	end repeat
	
	return outputText
end lastSundayOfEachMonthInYear

lastSundayOfEachMonthInYear(2020)
Output:
"./last_sundays 2020

The above is hard-coded for Sundays. As with the "Last Friday of each month" task [Last Friday of each month], the handler can be made more flexible with a weekday constant parameter, so that it can be used for any last weekday of the months:

on lastWeekdayWOfEachMonthInYear(w, y) -- Parameters: (AppleScript weekday constant, AD year number)
	-- Initialise an AppleScript date to the first day of some month in the specified year.
	tell (current date) to set {firstDayOfNextMonth, its day, its year} to {it, 1, y}
	
	-- Get a string representation of y, zero-padded if necessary, and initialise the output string.
	set y to text 2 thru 5 of ((10000 + y) as text)
	set outputText to "./last_" & w & "s " & y
	repeat with nextMonth from 2 to 13 -- Yes!
		-- For each month in the year, get the first day of the following month.
		set firstDayOfNextMonth's month to nextMonth
		-- Calculate the date of the target weekday which occurs in the seven days prior to that.
		-- The calculation can be described in various ways, the simplest being the subtraction of a day plus the difference between the previous day's weekday and the target weekday:
		--	firstDayOfNextMonth - (1 + (((firstDayOfNextMonth's weekday) - 1) - w + 7) mod 7) * days
		-- But they all boil down to:
		set lastWOfThisMonth to firstDayOfNextMonth - (1 + ((firstDayOfNextMonth's weekday) - w + 6) mod 7) * days
		-- Get the day and month of the calculated date and append the required details to the output text.
		set {month:m, day:d} to lastWOfThisMonth
		tell (10000 + m * 100 + d) as text to ¬
			set outputText to outputText & (linefeed & y & "-" & text 2 thru 3 & "-" & text 4 thru 5)
	end repeat
	
	return outputText
end lastWeekdayWOfEachMonthInYear

Fortran

Having already functions that calculate a daynumber from a date and the reverse, the notorious routines of H. F. Fliegel and T. C. van Flandern, the problem becomes simple. Their routine calculates the Julian day number but my version adjusts so that day zero is the thirty-first of December 1899, which is a Sunday. Thus, the day of the week is given by MOD(Daynumber,7) with zero for Sunday up to six for Saturday, as per Genesis.

Their routine is not only fast, but flexible, in particular allowing Month + 1 so that DAYNUM(Y,M + 1,0) gives the last day of month M for M = 1 to 12, with no agony over which month has what last day and leap years or not. If W is the day of week desired, all that remains is to use MOD(D - W,7) to determine the offset back to the desired day of the week and make that shift. There is a problem with the MOD function when negative numbers are involved: it may or may not (depending on computer, compiler, language) return a negative result; by adding 7 and taking a MOD again, this variation is suppressed.

The source uses the MODULE protocol for convenience in its usage in larger projects (which contain a calculation for Easter, daylight savings changeover dates, solar azimuth and altitude, etc. which have been removed here), but requires only F77 features, except for the annoyance of the MUNYAD function returning a TYPE(DATEBAG) result to get the three parts. This is an example where a palindromic programming protocol would be so much better. One would write

      D = DAYNUM(Y,M,D)    !Daynumber from date.
      DAYNUM(Y,M,D) = D    !Date parts from a day number.

But alas, only pl/i offers palindromic functions, and only for SUBSTR.

      MODULE DATEGNASH
C          Calculate conforming to complex calendarical contortions.
C   Astronomer Simon Newcomb determined that the tropical year of 1900
c contained 31556925.9747 seconds, or 365.24219879 days.
c Subsequent definitions involve "no measurable differences",
c whereas in 45BC (when the Julian calendar was adopted), the year was
c 365.24232 days long, going by modern calculations.
c   The "tropical" year is the time between the same equinoxes, and thus
c contains the effect of the precession of the Earth's axis, which would
c otherwise cause the seasons to likewise precess around the "fixed star"
c year, that being the time for midnight to point in the same direction
c amongst the "fixed" stars. Specifically, the vernal equinox
c (the northern hemisphere's spring equinox: cultural colonialism)
c is meant to hover around the 21'st of March, although it may fall
c within the 19'th or 20'th, which last has been the most popular in
c the 20'th century, until the leap year of 2000 resynchronised
c the civil calendar.
C   By contrast, the computations of astrologers are still based on the
c constellations as oriented in Babylonian times...

c   So, to add .24219879 to 365 days...
c   Adjustment per year   Nett     Discrepancy remaining.
c   +1/4     +.25        +.25      -.00780121  5h 48m 45.98s
c   -1/100   -.01         .24      +.00219879    -11m 14.02s
c   +1/400   +.0025       .2425    -.00030121        -26.02s
c   -1/4000  -.00025      .24225   -.00005121         -4.42s
c
c   The remnant of -.00005121 (meaning that the calendar year is too long)
c amounts to needing to drop one day on 19,527 years, and while this could be
c accommodated nicely enough by -1/20000 to give a calendar year of
c 365.24420 days with a remaining discrepancy of -.00000121 or -.01sec/year,
c there is a problem. The Earth's spin is slowing by a similar amount.
c   Similar to leap years and leap days are the leap seconds that since the
c development of clocks based on atomic oscillations, have been added or
c sometimes removed to keep clock time aligned with astronomical observations.
c This additional confusion is not further considered.

       INTEGER*4 FUNCTION DAYNUM(YY,M,D)	!Computes (JDayN - JDayShift), not JDayN.
C   Conversion from a Gregorian calendar date to a Julian day number, JDayN.
C   Valid for any Gregorian calendar date producing a Julian day number
C greater than zero, though remember that the Gregorian calendar
C was not used before y1582m10d15 and often, not after that either.
C thus in England (et al) when Wednesday 2'nd September 1752 (Julian style)
C was followed by Thursday the 14'th, occasioning the Eleven Day riots
C because creditors demanded a full month's payment instead of 19/30'ths.
C   The zero of the Julian day number corresponds to the first of January
C 4713BC on the *Julian* calendar's naming scheme, as extended backwards
C with current usage into epochs when it did not exist: the proleptic Julian calendar.
c This function employs the naming scheme of the *Gregorian* calendar,
c and if extended backwards into epochs when it did not exist (thus the
c proleptic Gregorian calendar) it would compute a zero for y-4713m11d24 *if*
c it is supposed there was a year zero between 1BC and 1AD (as is convenient
c for modern mathematics and astronomers and their simple calculations), *but*
c 1BC immediately precedes 1AD without any year zero in between (and is a leap year)
c thus the adjustment below so that the date is y-4714m11d24 or 4714BCm11d24,
c not that this name was in use at the time...
c   Although the Julian calendar (introduced by himself in what we would call 45BC,
c which was what the Romans occasionally called 709AUC) was provoked by the
c "years of confusion" resulting from arbitrary application of the rules
c for the existing Roman calendar, other confusions remain unresolved,
c so precise dating remains uncertain despite apparently precise specifications
c (and much later, Dennis the Short chose wrongly for the birth of Christ)
c and the Roman practice of inclusive reckoning meant that every four years
c was interpreted as every third (by our exclusive reckoning) so that the
c leap years were not as we now interpret them. This was resolved by Augustus
c but exactly when (and what date name is assigned) and whose writings used
c which system at the time of writing is a matter of more confusion,
c and this has continued for centuries.
C   Accordingly, although an algorithm may give a regular sequence of date names,
c that does not mean that those date names were used at the time even if the
c calendar existed then, because the interpretation of the algorithm varied.
c This in turn means that a date given as being on the Julian calendar
c prior to about 10AD is not as definite as it may appear and its alignment
c with the astronomical day number is uncertain even though the calculation
c is quite definite.
c
C   Computationally, year 1 is preceded by year 0, in a smooth progression.
C But there was never a year zero despite what astronomers like to say,
C so the formula's year 0 corresponds to 1BC, year -1 to 2BC, and so on back.
C Thus y-4713 in this counting would be 4714BC on the Gregorian calendar,
C were it to have existed then which it didn't.
C   To conform to the civil usage, the incoming YY, presumed a proper BC (negative)
C and AD (positive) year is converted into the computational counting sequence, Y,
C and used in the formula. If a YY = 0 is (improperly) offered, it will manifest
C as 1AD. Thus YY = -4714 will lead to calculations with Y = -4713.
C Thus, 1BC is a leap year on the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
C   For their convenience, astronomers decreed that a day starts at noon, so that
C in Europe, observations through the night all have the same day number.
C The current Western civil calendar however has the day starting just after midnight
C and that day's number lasts until the following midnight.
C
C   There is no constraint on the values of D, which is just added as it stands.
C This means that if D = 0, the daynumber will be that of the last day of the
C previous month. Likewise, M = 0 or M = 13 will wrap around so that Y,M + 1,0
C will give the last day of month M (whatever its length) as one day before
C the first day of the next month.
C
C   Example: Y = 1970, M = 1, D = 1;  JDAYN = 2440588, a Thursday but MOD(2440588,7) = 3.
C   and with the adjustment JDAYSHIFT, DAYNUM = 25568; mod 7 = 4 and DAYNAME(4) = "Thursday".
C   The Julian Day number 2440588.0 is for NOON that Thursday, 2440588.5 is twelve hours later.
C   And Julian Day number 2440587.625 is for three a.m. Thursday.
C

C   presented in Communications of the ACM, Vol. 11, No. 10 (October, 1968).
Carefully typed in again by R.N.McLean (whom God preserve) December XXMMIIX.

And after all that, results:

Employs the Gregorian calendar pattern.
You specify a day of the week, then nominate a year.
For each month of that year, this calculates the date of the last such day.

So, what day (0 = Sunday, 6 = Saturday):0

Fōrmulæ

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.

Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.

In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

Solution

The following function retrieves the last day of each month of a year, being a given weekday:

Go

This is different from the Go code for Last Friday of each month. It uses the fact that time functions in Go correct for dates: if you enter 32nd of october, Go corrects to 1st of November. So that if 29th of February is corrected to 1st of March, chosen year is not a leap year.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	
	var year int
	var t time.Time
	var lastDay = [12]int { 31,29,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31 }
	
	for {
		fmt.Print("Please select a year: ")
		_, err := fmt.Scanf("%d", &year)
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Println(err)
			continue
		} else {
			break
		}
	}

	fmt.Println("Last Sundays of each month of", year)
	fmt.Println("==================================")

	for i := 1;i < 13; i++ {
		j := lastDay[i-1]
		if i == 2 {
			if time.Date(int(year), time.Month(i), j, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC).Month() == time.Date(int(year), time.Month(i), j-1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC).Month() {

			if t.Weekday() == 0 {

This is a trivial adaptation of the solution to the "Last Friday of each month" task and works in both languages:

procedure main(A)
every write(lastsundays(!A))
end
 
procedure lastsundays(year)
every m := 1 to 12 do {
   d := case m of {
      2        : if IsLeapYear(year) then 29 else 28
      4|6|9|11 : 30
      default  : 31
      }                          # last day of month
 
   z := 0  
   j := julian(m,d,year) + 1     # first day of next month
   until (j-:=1)%7 = 6 do z -:=1 # backup to last sunday (6)

end

This code uses the Dates module, which is being incorporated into Julian's standard library with the current development version (0.4). I've used isdefined to make this code good for the current stable version (0.3) as well as for future releases. If Dates is not installed on your instance of Julian try Pkg.add("Dates") from the REPL.

Output:
This script will print the last Sundays of each month of the year given.

Oberon-07

First, extend the minimal Dates module from the Long year#Oberon-07 and Leap year#Oberon-07 sample with exported dayOfWeek and OutDate methods. Only the new parts are shown:

MODULE Dates;
IMPORT Out;

(* returns the day of the week of d/m/y *)
PROCEDURE dayOfWeek* ( d, m, y : INTEGER ) : INTEGER ;
    VAR     j, k, mm, yy, w1 : INTEGER;
    BEGIN
        mm := m;
        yy := y;
        IF mm <= 2 THEN
            INC( mm, 12 );
            DEC( yy )
        END;
        j := yy DIV 100;
        k := yy MOD 100;
        (* w1 is the day of the week, Saturday = 0, Sunday = 1, ... *)
        w1 := ( d + ( ( mm + 1 ) * 26 ) DIV 10 + k + k DIV 4 + j DIV 4 + 5 * j ) MOD 7;
        (* convert w1 to Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, ... *)
        IF w1 = 0 THEN
           w1 := SATURDAY
        ELSE
           w1 := w1 - 1
        END
    RETURN w1
    END dayOfWeek ;

(* Writes the date dd/mm/yyyy to standard output, in yyyy-mm-dd format *)
PROCEDURE OutDate* ( dd, mm, yyyy : INTEGER ) ;
BEGIN
    Out.Int( yyyy, 4 );
    IF mm < 10 THEN Out.String( "-0" ) ELSE Out.String( "-1" ) END;
    Out.Int( mm MOD 10, 1 );
    IF dd < 10 THEN Out.String( "-0" ) ELSE Out.String( "-" ) END;
    Out.Int( dd, 1 )
END OutDate ;

END Dates.

Next, create a LastDays module that can determine the last particular weekday of each month of a year:

MODULE LastDays;
IMPORT Dates;

VAR    daysInMonth : ARRAY 12 OF INTEGER;

(* sets the elements of lastWD to the day of the last weekDay of each month in year *)
PROCEDURE DayOfLastWeekDay* ( year, weekDay : INTEGER; VAR lastWD : ARRAY OF INTEGER ) ;
    VAR   endOfMonth, dow, mPos, offset : INTEGER ;
    BEGIN
        FOR mPos := 0 TO 11 DO
            endOfMonth := daysInMonth[ mPos ];
            IF mPos = 1 THEN
               (* February *)
               IF Dates.isLeapYear( year ) THEN INC( endOfMonth ) END
            END;
            dow := Dates.dayOfWeek( endOfMonth, mPos + 1, year );
            (* offset the last day to the required day of the week *)
            IF dow >= weekDay THEN
               offset := dow - weekDay
            ELSE
               offset := 7 - ( weekDay - dow )
            END;
            lastWD[ mPos ] := endOfMonth - offset
        END
    END DayOfLastWeekDay ;

BEGIN
    daysInMonth[ 0 ] := 31; daysInMonth[  1 ] := 28; daysInMonth[  2 ] := 31;
    daysInMonth[ 3 ] := 30; daysInMonth[  4 ] := 31; daysInMonth[  5 ] := 30;
    daysInMonth[ 6 ] := 31; daysInMonth[  7 ] := 31; daysInMonth[  8 ] := 30;
    daysInMonth[ 9 ] := 31; daysInMonth[ 10 ] := 30; daysInMonth[ 11 ] := 31
END LastDays.

Then, use the Dates and LastDays module to handle the task:

MODULE LastSundays;
    IMPORT LastDays, Dates, Out;
    VAR    mPos, year : INTEGER;
           last       : ARRAY 12 OF INTEGER;
BEGIN
    year := 2024;
    LastDays.DayOfLastWeekDay( year, Dates.SUNDAY, last );
    FOR mPos := 0 TO 11 DO
        Dates.OutDate( last[ mPos ], mPos + 1, year );
        Out.Ln
    END
END LastSundays.
Output:

Alternate Version

This script finds the first and/or last or all dates of any of the days of week; accepts [Int32] and [DateTime] values for Month and Year parameters; outputs [DateTime] objects by default but has an option to output time strings in various formats. This script also allows for pipeline input based mainly upon the Month parameter. This script has a syntax as complex as any PowerShell Cmdlet because it attempts to do everything.
