# standaloneWeekdaySymbols

A list of standalone weekday names in this calendar, localized to the Calendar’s locale.

## Declaration

```swift
var standaloneWeekdaySymbols: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, for English in the Gregorian calendar, returns ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]. note: Stand-alone properties are for use in places like calendar headers. Non-stand-alone properties are for use in context (for example, “Saturday, November 12th”). note: By default, Calendars have no locale set. If you wish to receive a localized answer, be sure to set the locale property first - most likely to Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.
