A certain improvement on @taymon`s answer:
4 is Friday’s weekday (0 based, counting from Monday).
( (4-today.weekday()) % 7)is the number of days till next friday (%is always non-negative).After seeing @ubuntu’s answer, I should add two things:
1. I’m not sure if Friday=4 is universally true. Some people start their week on Sunday.
2. On Friday, this code returns the same day. To get the next, use
(3-today.weekday())%7+1. Just the oldx%nto((x-1)%n)+1conversion.
