There must a smoother way than writing an if statement for each weekday? This just looks so clunky :/

if(a==1)
    b="Monday";
if(a==2)
    b="Tuesday";
if(a==3)
    b="Wednesday";
if(a==4)
    b="Thursday";
if(a==5)
    b="Friday";
if(a==6)
    b="Saturday";
if(a==7)
    b="Sunday";

solution

u can always make an array out of it and then print, jest have a look:

String[] weekDays = new String[]{"Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"};
 String myDay = weekDays[a-1];  //a had to be decrement since array counts from 0
 System.out.println(myDay);
