Problem 19: Counting Sundays

Problem:

Please find the problem here.

Solution:

We might be able to compute it by the description, but it is much easier to use the built-in calendar. Here is the code:

namespace Problem019
{
    using System;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int sum = 0;
            for (int year = 1901; year <= 2000; year++)
            {
                for (int month = 1; month <= 12; month++)
                {
                    if (new DateTime(year, month, 1).DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                    {
                        sum++;
                    }
                }
            }
            Console.WriteLine(sum);
            
        }
    }
}
