On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.

Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.

On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.

Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.

Hi, I had calculated the day for 23 Jan 1988 and got the answer as Sunday which was wrong in actual calendar. It was Saturday. Could anyone help me to solve this?

1st Jan 2006 - Sunday.
Next, 1/1/07- Monday.

2008 is a leap year so here we have 2 days extra, so 01/01/08 - Wednesday.

Next 01/01/2009 - Thursday.
so then,
01/01/2010 - Friday.

How everyone is calculating month codes? Can anyone explain?

@Divya.

When you calculated leap year 88/4 you got 22 but the date is in January, so any day before February 28 there will be this problem.
