check this converting week number (int) into week day name (string) [solved]

## thats a lame way to do it
## forget doing this, check below how its done
#
#def dayNameFromWeekday(weekday):
#    if weekday == 0:
#        return "Monday"
#    if weekday == 1:
#        return "Tuesday"
#    if weekday == 2:
#        return "Wednesday"
#    if weekday == 3:
#        return "Thursday"
#    if weekday == 4:
#        return "Friday"
#    if weekday == 5:
#        return "Saturday"
#    if weekday == 6:
#        return "Sunday"
#    else:
#        print('error')

## make array of all the days in order
## zeroth element is monday, sixth element is sunday
days=["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]

## accepts an integer, no strings, if weekday is more than 6 - prints error and returns something else than a week day
def dayNameFromWeekday(weekday):
    if weekday>6:
        print('error');
        return 'an unknown day'
    return days[weekday]

## get keyboard input but convert it to int
nb = int(input('Enter weekday number [0 - 6]: '))
print('\n')

## print the result of the function
print('today is: ' + dayNameFromWeekday(nb))

After the Monday if statement, you may want to change the ifs to elif

Also at the end, instead of print('error'), you should try return 'error'
