Task
Find the last Sunday of each month
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Write a program or a script that returns the last Sundays of each month of a given year. The year may be given through any simple input method in your language (command line, std in, etc.).

Example of an expected output:


./last_sundays 2013
2013-01-27
2013-02-24
2013-03-31
2013-04-28
2013-05-26
2013-06-30
2013-07-28
2013-08-25
2013-09-29
2013-10-27
2013-11-24
2013-12-29


REXX

This REXX example is an exact replication of the Rosetta Code

  • find last Fridays of each month for any year

except for the innards of the first DO loop. <lang rexx>/*REXX program displays dates of last Sundays of each month for any year*/ parse arg yyyy

                  do j=1 for  12
                  _ = lastDOW('Sunday', j, yyyy)
                  say right(_,4)'-'right(j,2,0)"-"left(word(_,2),2)
                  end  /*j*/

exit /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/ /*┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

 │ The  day-of-week  must be specified (it can be in any case,        │
 │ (lower-/mixed-/upper-case)  as an English name of the spelled day  │

 │ The year is specified as an integer or just the last two digits    │
 │ (two digit years are assumed to be in the current century,  and    │
 │ there is no windowing for a two-digit year).                       │

 │ Method used: find the "day number" of the 1st of the next month,   │
 │ then subtract one  (this gives the "day number" of the last day of │
