```

## Parameters

- `date`: The date for which to perform the calculation.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the given date is within a weekend period, otherwise false.

## Discussion

Discussion If the date does fall within a weekend, you can use the range(ofWeekendStart:interval:containing:) method to determine the start date of that weekend period. Otherwise, you can use the nextWeekendStart(_:interval:options:after:) method to determine the start date of the next or previous weekend.
