Last Friday of each month
Write a program or a script that returns the date of the last Fridays of each month of a given year.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
The year may be given through any simple input method in your language (command line, std in, etc).
Example of an expected output:
./last_fridays 2012 2012-01-27 2012-02-24 2012-03-30 2012-04-27 2012-05-25 2012-06-29 2012-07-27 2012-08-31 2012-09-28 2012-10-26 2012-11-30 2012-12-28

The program uses one ASSIST macro (XPRNT) to keep the code as short as possible.

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).
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
lastFridayOfEachMonthInYear(2020)
- Output:
"./last_fridays 2020 2020-01-31 2020-02-28 2020-03-27 2020-04-24 2020-05-29 2020-06-26 2020-07-31 2020-08-28 2020-09-25 2020-10-30 2020-11-27 2020-12-25"
The above is of course hard-coded for Fridays. It can be made more flexible by taking an AppleScript weekday constant as a parameter:
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.

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:

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).

Using the minimal Dates and LastDays modules from the Long year#Oberon-07, Leap year#Oberon-07 and Find the last Sunday of_each month#Oberon-07 samples (code not repeated here), we can solve the task:
MODULE LastFridays;
IMPORT LastDays, Dates, Out;

last : ARRAY 12 OF INTEGER;
BEGIN
year := 2024;

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;
}

}
Example:
$ ./lastfri 2038 2038-01-29 2038-02-26 2038-03-26 2038-04-30 2038-05-28 2038-06-25 2038-07-30 2038-08-27 2038-09-24 2038-10-29 2038-11-26 2038-12-31
A solution without a result array to store things in:
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");
}
Here, classify
sorts the dates into one bin per month (but preserves the order in each bin). We then take the list inside each bin (.value
) and find the last (.reverse.first
) date which is a Friday.
Another variation where the data flow can be read left to right using feed operators:
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
}

REXX
This REXX program will find the last day-of-week (for any day) of all the months for any year.
It wasn't optimized just to find a particular day-of-week.
The documentation for the lastDOW function (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.: TU for Tuesday. W for Wednesday, Sa for Saturday, Su for Sunday ... ║ ║ ║ ║ The month can be specified as an integer 1 ──► 12 ║ ║ 1=January 2=February 3=March 4=April 5=May 6=June ... 12=December ║ ║ or the English name of the month, 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).

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.
