No, your solution is bloated. Mine may run a tad slower, but it consumes
less memory since it uses the weekday names already defined in the
locale. Yours redefines the strings thus requiring that much extra
storage. Yours is redundant with information already available in the
locale. The YAGNI claim is irrelevant here since I'm producing the
requested functionality that the poster obviously needs. Whether I use
your method or my method is irrelevant to YAGNI.
they're all bloated:
print jddayofweek($day_number, 1);
