Accept that. No, your solution is bloated. Mine may run a tad slower, but it consumes less memory since it uses the weekday names already defined in the locale. Yours redefines the strings thus requiring that much extra storage. Yours is redundant with information already available in the locale. The YAGNI claim is irrelevant here since I'm producing the requested functionality that the poster obviously needs. Whether I use your method or my method is irrelevant to YAGNI. Thank you, try again.
