Suggested change
* @param date String format date
* @return Name of day
* @param date String format date `DD/MM/YYYY`
* @return Name of the day

* 1. For date 2/3/2014 with old formula - (2 * century) weekDay comes as -6 and wrong day
* 2. With computer logic + (5 * century) it gives proper valid day as Sunday
*/
double weekDay = (day + Math.floor((month + 1) * 2.6) + yearDigit + Math.floor(yearDigit / 4) + Math.floor(century / 4) + (5 * century)) % 7;
