Leap years have two letters, so for January and February calculate the day of the week for January 1 and for March to December calculate the day of the week for October 1. Leap years are all years that divide exactly by four, with the following exceptions: Gregorian calendar – all years divisible by 100, except those that divide exactly by 400.
For determination of the day of the week (1 January 2000, Saturday) the day of the month: 1 ~ 31 (1) the month: (6) the year: (0) the century mod 4 for the Gregorian calendar and mod 7 for the Julian calendar (0). adding 1+6+0+0=7. Dividing by 7 leaves a remainder of 0, so the day of the week is Saturday. The formula is w = (d + m + y + c) mod 7.
For March, one can remember either Pi Day or "March 0", the latter referring to the day before March 1, i.e. the last day of February. For the months April through December, the even numbered months are covered by the double dates 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12, all of which fall on the doomsday.
Note: In this algorithm January and February are counted as months 13 and 14 of the previous year. E.g. if it is 2 February 2010 (02/02/2010 in DD/MM/YYYY), the algorithm counts the date as the second day of the fourteenth month of 2009 (02/14/2009 in DD/MM/YYYY format) For an ISO week date Day-of-Week d (1 = Monday to 7 = Sunday), use
A major complicating factor in constructing a perpetual calendar algorithm is the peculiar and variable length of February, which was at one time the last month of the year, leaving the first 11 months March through January with a five-month repeating pattern: 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, ..., so that the offset from March of the starting day of the ...

Companies in Europe often use year, week number, and day for planning purposes. So, for example, an event in a project can happen on w43 (week 43) or w43-1 (Monday, week 43) or, if the year needs to be indicated, on w0643 (the year 2006, week 43; i.e., Monday 23 October–Sunday 29 October 2006). An ISO week-numbering year has 52 or 53 full ...
