# DayOfWeek

public final enum **DayOfWeek** extends [Enum](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/Enum.html)\<[DayOfWeek](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/time/DayOfWeek.html)\>  
implements [TemporalAccessor](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalAccessor.html) [TemporalAdjuster](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalAdjuster.html) A day-of-week, such as 'Tuesday'.


`DayOfWeek` is an enum representing the 7 days of the week -
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


In addition to the textual enum name, each day-of-week has an `int` value.
The `int` value follows the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
It is recommended that applications use the enum rather than the `int` value
to ensure code clarity.


This enum provides access to the localized textual form of the day-of-week.
Some locales also assign different numeric values to the days, declaring
Sunday to have the value 1, however this class provides no support for this.
See `https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/time/temporal/WeekFields.html` for localized week-numbering.


**Do not use `ordinal()` to obtain the numeric representation of `DayOfWeek`.
Use `getValue()` instead.**


This enum represents a common concept that is found in many calendar systems.
As such, this enum may be used by any calendar system that has the day-of-week
concept defined exactly equivalent to the ISO calendar system.
