Er, did you mean to start a poll with a random question in it?
To answer your (post) question:
- Read in a date from the user as
std::string - Parse the string to extract the day, month, year etc.
- Calculate the number of days from the date the user entered to some reference date, on which you know the day (eg. today).
- Use
numberOfDays%7to get the answer.
Have fun.

I voted yes. Partly, because I am psychic and I can tell the OP's code is thousands of pages long.

The struct tm in time.h or ctime contains an integer that represents the day of the week. After getting the date from the keyboard just fill in a struct tm and pass it to mktime() to complete the structure. You must zero out all the elements of the structure before doing that.
