A more straightforward solution:

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

<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">on lastFridayOfEachMonthInYear(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_fridays " & 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 Friday 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 lastFridayOfThisMonth to firstDayOfNextMonth - (1 + (firstDayOfNextMonth's weekday) mod 7) * days
		-- Append the required details to the output text.
		set {month:m, day:d} to lastFridayOfThisMonth
		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 lastFridayOfEachMonthInYear

The above is of course hard-coded for Fridays. It can be made more flexible by taking an AppleScript weekday constant as a parameter:

<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">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

Algorithm: compute day of week for last day of month, then subtract just enough to get to the preceding friday. Do this for each month. To simplify computations further, we only need to compute day of week of january 1st (the others are found by adding month lengths). Since day of week need only be known modulo 7, we do not compute modulo at all except once when subtracting.

In other words, start from January 1 of the given year, and count forward for 366 days, keeping the Fridays. Then pick the last remaining day within each represented month (which will be a Friday because we only kept the Fridays).  Then pick the first 12 (since on a non-leap year which ends on a Thursday we would get an extra Friday).

===Alternate Version===
This script finds the first and/or last or all dates of any of the days of week; accepts <code>[Int32]</code> and <code>[DateTime]</code> values for Month and Year parameters; outputs <code>[DateTime]</code> 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.

<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub MAIN (Int $year = Date.today.year) {
    my @fri;
    for Date.new("$year-01-01") .. Date.new("$year-12-31") {
        @fri[.month] = .Str if .day-of-week == 5;
    }
    .say for @fri[1..12];
}</syntaxhighlight>

Example:
<pre>$ ./lastfri 2038
2038-01-29
2038-02-26
2038-03-26
2038-04-30

2038-09-24
2038-10-29
2038-11-26
2038-12-31</pre>

A solution without a result array to store things in:

<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub MAIN (Int $year = Date.today.year) {
    say ~.value.reverse.first: *.day-of-week == 5
        for classify *.month, Date.new("$year-01-01") .. Date.new("$year-12-31");
}</syntaxhighlight>

Here, <code>classify</code> sorts the dates into one bin per month (but preserves the order in each bin). We then take the list inside each bin (<code>.value</code>) and find the last (<code>.reverse.first</code>) date which is a Friday.

Another variation where the data flow can be read left to right using feed operators:

<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>sub MAIN (Int $year = Date.today.year) {
    .say for Date.new("$year-01-01") .. Date.new("$year-12-31") ==> classify *.month ==>
             map *.value.reverse.first: *.day-of-week == 5

=={{header|REXX}}==
This REXX program will find the last day-of-week (for any day) of all the months for any year.
<br>It wasn't optimized just to find a particular day-of-week.

The documentation for the &nbsp;  '''lastDOW''' &nbsp; function &nbsp; (used in the REXX program below):

  ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
  ║ lastDOW:  procedure to return the date of the  last day─of─week of any particular month of any ║
  ║           particular year.                                                                     ║

  ║ The  day─of─week  must be specified  (it can be in any case, (lower─/mixed─/upper─case)  as an ║ 
  ║ English name of the spelled day of the week,  with a minimum length that causes no ambiguity.  ║
  ║                                                                                                ║

  ║ I.E.:    JA  for January,   AP  for April,   JUN  for June,   JUL  for July,   D  for December.║
  ║ If omitted  [or an asterisk(*)],  the current month is used.                                   ║

  ║ The year is specified as an integer or just the last two digits  (two digit years are assumed  ║
  ║ to be in the current century,  and there is no windowing for a two─digit year).  If omitted    ║
  ║ [or an asterisk(*)],  the current year is used.     Years < 100   must be specified with  (at  ║
  ║ least 2)  leading zeroes.                                                                      ║

  ║ The method used is:  find the "day number" of the 1st of the next month and then subtract one  ║
  ║ (this gives the "day number" of the last day of the month,  bypassing the leapday mess).  The  ║
  ║ last day─of─week is then obtained straightforwardly,   or  via subtraction.                    ║

For each month in year y, count back from the last day in the month 
until a Friday is found and print that date. 
A pump is a loop over a sequence and Void.Stop stops the pump with a value. 
The first parameter to a pump is the sink. 
All the imperative loop constructs are available but I didn't feel like using them. 
A wrap is a function closure over unknown values in the function, 
necessary because functions are not lexically scoped.
