    public static String findDay(int month, int day, int year) {

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.MONTH,month-1);
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,day);
        cal.set(Calendar.YEAR,year);
String dayOfWeek = cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US).toUpperCase();
        return dayOfWeek;

    }

}

        String[] firstMultipleInput = bufferedReader.readLine().replaceAll("\s+$", "").split(" ");

        int month = Integer.parseInt(firstMultipleInput[0]);

        int day = Integer.parseInt(firstMultipleInput[1]);

        String res = Result.findDay(month, day, year);

        bufferedWriter.write(res);
        bufferedWriter.newLine();

        bufferedReader.close();
        bufferedWriter.close();

Third solution

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class JavaDateAndTime {
    static List<String> days = Arrays.asList("SUNDAY", "MONDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY", "THURSDAY", "FRIDAY", "SATURDAY");
    
    public static String getDay(String day, String month, String year) {
          
        int y = Integer.parseInt(year);
        int m = Integer.parseInt(month);
        int d = Integer.parseInt(day);
          
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        c.set(y, m-1, d); 
            
        int p = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
        String s = days.get(p-1);
        return s;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        String month = in.next();
        String day = in.next();
        String year = in.next();
        
        System.out.println(getDay(day, month, year));
        
    }
}
