可以使用以下代码片段进行输入，如(day = "08"， month = "05"， year = "2015"，输出将是"WEDNESDAY")

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, Integer.parseInt(day));
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, (Integer.parseInt(month)-1));
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, Integer.parseInt(year));
String dayOfWeek = calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US).toUpperCase();

下面是两行代码片段，使用Java 1.8 Time API满足您的需求。

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(Integer.valueOf(year),Integer.valueOf(month),Integer.valueOf(day));
String dayOfWeek = String.valueOf(localDate.getDayOfWeek());

public class TryDateFormats {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String month = "08";
        String day = "05";
        String year = "2015";
        String inputDateStr = String.format("%s/%s/%s", day, month, year);
        Date inputDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(inputDateStr);
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(inputDate);
        String dayOfWeek = calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US).toUpperCase();
        System.out.println(dayOfWeek);
    }
}

通过使用java.util.scanner包给用户输入日期、月和年来查找星期几的程序:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Calender {
    public static String getDay(String day, String month, String year) {

        int ym, yp, d, ay, a = 0;
        int by = 20;
        int[] y = new int[]{6, 4, 2, 0};
        int[] m = new int []{0, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5};

        String[] wd = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

        int gd = Integer.parseInt(day);
        int gm = Integer.parseInt(month);
        int gy = Integer.parseInt(year);

        ym = gy % 100;
        yp = ym / 4;
        ay = gy / 100;

        while (ay != by) {
            by = by + 1;
            a = a + 1;

            if(a == 4) {
                a = 0;
            }
        }

        if ((ym % 4 == 0) && (gm == 2)) {
            d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a] - 1) % 7;
        } else
            d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a]) % 7;

        return wd[d];
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

        String day = in.next();
        String month = in.next();
        String year = in.next();

        System.out.println(getDay(day, month, year));
    }
}

另一个“有趣”的方法是使用末日算法。这是一个更长的方法，但如果您不需要用给定的日期创建Calendar对象，那么它也更快。
