void dayName(int m){
//a special data type Day is created and it contains names of the day as value; compiler automatically assigns 0,1... to these values unless otherwise stated; here Sunday is assigned the value 1 for the convenience of 1-based indexing
enum Day { Sunday=1, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday };
//a multidimensional array with 7(Saturday is assigned 7 ) rows and 80-character long column is created so that each row contains the name of each day; note the index starts with 1
char a[Saturday][80]={"Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"};
//with the user provided number, corresponding string representation  is printed; note deferenced pointer is used as the name of array is a constant pointer to the first element of the array; 1 is deducted as in 1-based indexing first element is a[1] , not a[0]
