Upon receiving month and year in YYYYMM format, generate output of the corresponding calendar month for that year.

For example the input 201312 should generate the following output:

Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
                   1
 2  3  4  5  6  7  8
 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28 29
30 31

Only trick is, NO native calendar generating functions... so Linux clones, no "cal" function... Muahahahahah!

PS: The calendar must start out with Monday as the left-most day, this is to ensure that the output is like the "cal" function, but does not output like "cal", which has Sunday as its left-most day...

Smallest code size wins.

Ruby, 170 168 characters

g=gets.to_i
require'date'
d=Date.new g/100,g%100
puts'Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su'
l=['']*(d.jd%7)+[*1..(d>>1).jd-d.jd]
56.times{|i|$><<"#{l[i].to_s.rjust 2} #{?\n if i%7>5}"}

Bugfix: didn't require the neccessary library (+16) used julian date modulo 7 instead of current week day directly (-3)
used /100 and %100 to parse date instead of regex (-13). Taken from LegoStormtroopr's answer.
removed the parentheses around the argument to rjust and Date.new(-2)

  • \$\begingroup\$ Cool. Not tested exhaustively, but seems that you can change "#{l[i].to_s.rjust 2} #{?\n if i%7>5}" with "%2s %s"%[l[i],i%7>5?$/:""]. \$\endgroup\$

Python 2.7 - 152

Unfortunately it fails for September 1752. Granted, it imports all of the calender functions, but only uses 1, and that just returns the start day of the week and the number of days.

from calendar import*
w,l=monthrange(*divmod(input(),100))
print" Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su\n"+"   "*w+''.join(["%3d"%s+"\n"*((s+w)%7<1)for s in range(1,l+1)])

Relatively standard code, but this is my favourite bit:

"\n"*((s+w)%7<1)

It prints the new line using string multiplication, if the number of the current day and start day of the week is Sunday (e.g. 7) as the boolean is cast to an integer.

This saves a character on the more intuitive x%7==0 by using x%7<1 instead.

Test output:

> 198210
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
             1  2  3
 4  5  6  7  8  9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31

  • \$\begingroup\$ The Wiki reference you mentioned was interesting... "It reformed the calendar of England and British Dominions so that a new year began on 1 January rather than 25 March (Lady Day) and would run according to the Gregorian calendar, as used in most of western Europe." I'm surprised the English were a little behind then...? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 12, 2013 at 23:54

Not the most elegant solution, I suspect.

Input in the form of an integer with the four high digits forming the year, and the low two digits the month.

X=100,W;f(d){int m=d%X,y=d/X,i=0,M=" >8><><>><><>"[m]/2+(m==2&(!(y%4)&&(y%X|!(y%400))));for(m+=m<3?y--,10:-2,W=(((1+(26*m-2)/10-2*y/X+5*(y%X)/4+y/X/4)%7)+6)%7,printf("Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su\n%*s",3*W,"");i<M;)printf("%2d%c",++i,W++%7^6?32:10);}
