DAYS

Description

This function shows name of the days of the week.
The names of the 7 days of the week in most Latin-based languages come from the Roman calendar, which related each day with 7 celestial bodies considered to be gods: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
The 7-day-week provides a clear method of representing dates and times to avoid misinterpretation between people from different countries with varying traditions for writing numeric dates and times.
According to the international standard,Monday is the first day of week.
Although this is the international standard, several countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia consider Sunday as the start of the week.
Hence this function displays SUNDAY as the first day in the list.
