I am trying to convert String value of a weekday to a Number.
I was looking into Enum DayOfWeek
(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/DayOfWeek.html), but it does not work the way I expected.
Code
String n = "MONDAY";
System.out.println(n); //prints MONDAY
System.out.println(DayOfWeek.valueOf(n)); //also prints MONDAY - should print 1
How can I get the corresponding number from my string instead?
DayOfWeek
Here you need to get the day-of-week int value. For that you need to use DayOfWeek.valueOf
and DayOfWeek::getValue()
. This works if your string inputs use the full English name of the day of week, as used on the DayOfWeek
enum objects.
System.out.println(DayOfWeek.valueOf(n).getValue());
It returns the day-of-week, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
