Fucking dayOfWeek !

if (day = 1) or (day = 8) or (day = 15) or (day = 22) or (day = 29) then
weekday = "Monday"

elseif (day = 2) or (day = 9) or (day = 16) or (day = 23) or (day = 30) then
weekday = "Tuesday"
...

Make it real, make it final !

public class IntWrapper {
private final String value;

public IntWrapper(int value) {
this.value = String.valueOf(value);
}

public String getValue() {
return value;
}
}
