+                    DateToDay Method
+                    ----------------
+    The DateToDay method takes a date in string format and
+    returns the name of a day. The approach behind this method
+    is very simple, we first take a string date and check
+    whether their date is valid or not, if the date is valid
+    then we do this But apply the algorithm shown below. The
+    algorithm shown below gives us the number of the day and
+    finally converts it to the name of the day.
+
+    Algorithm & Explanation : https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~alopez-o/math-faq/node73.html
