displaying the current day on the screen

[belginunal]

Hello,

I am struggling to get the current day of the week and display it on the screen (along with a survey box).

Specifically, what I need to do is to display the last 4 days on the screen (one at a time), and ask people to write a few things regarding what happened on that day. I want to display the day of the week so that participants will know which day they should report about.
I am getting very confused and wondered if someone has a ready fix to this sort of thing.

I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks for reading this!

Hi @belginunal, have you tried using the JavaScript Date.getDay function? This function returns a number, where 0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc. You could use that along with an array of the day names to get the current day name, and then subtract from the current day index to get the indices/names of the last 4 days. Feel free to post your code if you need further guidance.

Thank you so much!
