All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<DayOfWeek>, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster
```
public enum DayOfWeek
extends java.lang.Enum<DayOfWeek>
implements TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster
```
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 WeekFields 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.
Specification for implementors
This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.

```
public static DayOfWeek of(int dayOfWeek)
```
    Obtains an instance of DayOfWeek from an int value.
    DayOfWeek is an enum representing the 7 days of the week. This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the int value. The int value follows the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
    
    Parameters:
    dayOfWeek - the day-of-week to represent, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday)
    
    Returns:
    the day-of-week singleton, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the day-of-week is invalid
  - from
```
public static DayOfWeek from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
```
    Obtains an instance of DayOfWeek from a temporal object.
    A TemporalAccessor represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of DayOfWeek.
    The conversion extracts the DAY_OF_WEEK field.
    This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, DayOfWeek::from.
    
    Parameters:
    temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null
    
    Returns:
    the day-of-week, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a DayOfWeek
  - getValue
```
public int getValue()
```
    Gets the day-of-week int value.
    The values are numbered following the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday). See WeekFields.dayOfWeek for localized week-numbering.
    
    Returns:
    the day-of-week, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday)
  - getText
```
public java.lang.String getText(TextStyle style,
                       java.util.Locale locale)
```
    Gets the textual representation, such as 'Mon' or 'Friday'.
    This returns the textual name used to identify the day-of-week. The parameters control the length of the returned text and the locale.
    If no textual mapping is found then the numeric value is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    style - the length of the text required, not null
    locale - the locale to use, not null
    
    Returns:
    the text value of the day-of-week, not null
  - isSupported
```
public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)
```
    Checks if the specified field is supported.
    This checks if this day-of-week can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range and get methods will throw an exception.
    If the field is DAY_OF_WEEK then this method returns true. All other ChronoField instances will return false.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doIsSupported(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isSupported in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to check, null returns false
    
    Returns:
    true if the field is supported on this day-of-week, false if not
  - range
```
public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.
    The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This day-of-week is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is DAY_OF_WEEK then the range of the day-of-week, from 1 to 7, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doRange(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    range in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to query the range for, not null
    
    Returns:
    the range of valid values for the field, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the range for the field cannot be obtained
  - get
```
public int get(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the value of the specified field from this day-of-week as an int.
    This queries this day-of-week for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is DAY_OF_WEEK then the value of the day-of-week, from 1 to 7, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doGet(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to get, not null
    
    Returns:
    the value for the field, within the valid range of values
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained
    
    DateTimeException - if the range of valid values for the field exceeds an int
    
    DateTimeException - if the value is outside the range of valid values for the field
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
  - getLong
```
public long getLong(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the value of the specified field from this day-of-week as a long.
    This queries this day-of-week for the value for the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is DAY_OF_WEEK then the value of the day-of-week, from 1 to 7, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doGet(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLong in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to get, not null
    
    Returns:
    the value for the field
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
  - plus
```
public DayOfWeek plus(long days)
```
    Returns the day-of-week that is the specified number of days after this one.
    The calculation rolls around the end of the week from Sunday to Monday. The specified period may be negative.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    
    Parameters:
    days - the days to add, positive or negative
    
    Returns:
    the resulting day-of-week, not null
  - minus
```
public DayOfWeek minus(long days)
```
    Returns the day-of-week that is the specified number of days before this one.
    The calculation rolls around the start of the year from Monday to Sunday. The specified period may be negative.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    
    Parameters:
    days - the days to subtract, positive or negative
    
    Returns:
    the resulting day-of-week, not null
  - query
```
public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> query)
```
    Queries this day-of-week using the specified query.
    This queries this day-of-week using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.
    The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method on the specified query passing this as the argument.
    
    Specified by:
    
    query in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Type Parameters:
    R - the type of the result
    Parameters:
    query - the query to invoke, not null
    
    Returns:
    the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to query (defined by the query)
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)
  - adjustInto
```
public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)
```
    Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this day-of-week.
    This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the day-of-week changed to be the same as this.
    The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) passing ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK as the field. Note that this adjusts forwards or backwards within a Monday to Sunday week. See WeekFields.dayOfWeek for localized week start days. See Adjusters for other adjusters with more control, such as next(MONDAY).
    In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster):
```
   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
   temporal = thisDayOfWeek.adjustInto(temporal);
   temporal = temporal.with(thisDayOfWeek);
 
```
    For example, given a date that is a Wednesday, the following are output:
```
   dateOnWed.with(MONDAY);     // two days earlier
   dateOnWed.with(TUESDAY);    // one day earlier
   dateOnWed.with(WEDNESDAY);  // same date
   dateOnWed.with(THURSDAY);   // one day later
   dateOnWed.with(FRIDAY);     // two days later
   dateOnWed.with(SATURDAY);   // three days later
   dateOnWed.with(SUNDAY);     // four days later
 
```
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    Specified by:
    
    adjustInto in interface TemporalAdjuster
    
    Parameters:
    temporal - the target object to be adjusted, not null
    
    Returns:
    the adjusted object, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to make the adjustment
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
