In this program, we will get the current date-time using Utc::now() method and then we will compare today's weekday with other weekdays and print the appropriate message.
Add Chrono date-time external library to your project
- Create your project using the below command.
 $cargo new datetime -bin 
- Goto the project folder cd datetime and edit Cargo.toml file.
 $datetime>nano Cargo.toml 
- Then add dependency in Cargo.toml file
 [dependencies]
chrono = "0.4" 
- After that, build your project using the below command
 $datetime>cargo build 
- Then execute your project after modification in src/main.rs source file.
 $datetime>cargo run
