Investigate the dayOfWeek method
  
Integer month = 10;  
Integer year = 2019;
Integer numberDays = Date.daysInMonth(year, month);
Integer noOfSun = 0;

for(Integer i=1;i<=numberDays ;i++)
{
    Date myDate = date.newInstance(year, month, i);
    Datetime dt = (DateTime)myDate;
    if(dt.format('EEEE' == 'Sunday')
    {
        noOfSun = noOfSun + 1;  
    }
}

Save the computations related to start date and modulos.

Hi narendra,

Please refer the below code:


Integer month = 10;  
Integer year = 2019;
Integer numberDays = Date.daysInMonth(year, month);
Date startDate = date.newInstance(2001, 1, 1);
List<String> listDay = new List<String>{'Monday' , 'Tuesday' , 'Wednesday' , 'Thursday' , 'Friday','Saturday' , 'Sunday' };

system.debug( ' ==> ' + numberDays );
Integer noOfSun = 0;
for(Integer i=1;i<=numberDays ;i++)
{
    Date myDate = date.newInstance(year, month, i);
    Integer remainder = Math.mod(startDate.daysBetween(myDate) , 7);
    String dayValue = listDay.get(remainder);
    if(dayValue == 'Sunday')
    {
        noOfSun = noOfSun + 1;  
    }
}

system.debug(  ' @@@ noOfSun =>  ' + noOfSun );


Thanks,
