    The getDate() function returns today’s date like 2. so it always returns Tuesday.
    To get today’s day you should use the getDay() function.

    var today = new Date();
var day=today.getDay();
var daylist = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
console.log("Today is : " + daylist[day] + ".");

    In JavaScript, getDay() returns a day-of-week number (0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc.), and your daylist array is indexed using this value, making it access the corresponding day name.
