Onyejiaku Theophilus ChidaluOverview
To find the day of the week from the pandas' Timestamp object, we use the attribute, .dayofweek. The Timestamp object is similar to the Python's datetime object. Let's see how to find the day of the week.
Syntax
Timestamp.dayofweek
Syntax for the .dayofweek attribute in Pandas
Parameters
This attribute does not require any parameter value. It just requires the Timestamp object to find day of the week for it.

It returns an integer from 0 to 6 representing the day of the week. 0 represents Monday, 1 represents Tuesday, and so on.
