Output: "Saturday"

Example 2:

Input: day = 18, month = 7, year = 1999
Output: "Sunday"

Example 3:

Input: day = 15, month = 8, year = 1993

Solution 1.

Compute difference between the date and 1971/1/1 which is Friday.

When the input is exactly 1971/1/1, the d + day will be 1. To get Friday, we need to shift it by 4.
