Convert the date to a datetime, and use the day function to return the day name.

D = datetime(2021,06,26);
out = day(D,'name')

out = 1×1 cell array
    {'Saturday'}

the date is not pre defined, this function should work with any date that i give inside my function when i call it

Make an attempt and share it here. I'm purposely trying to not do your assignment for you.

Hi Cris, your comment has been very helpful! I´m wondering if there is a way to show only day and hide the phrase in the output out = 1×1 cell array. Thank you!

Use the function disp

D = datetime(2021,06,26);
out = day(D,'name');
disp(out{1})

Saturday

ans = 'Saturday'
