Anything like this?

require 'date'

t = Date.today
Date.new(t.year, t.month) - 1
 => #<Date: 2016-10-31 ((2457693j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>

    what about `t - t.day` ?) It should return the same result, but without creating new instance of `Date`) – Oleksandr Holubenko Nov 06 '16 at 18:53
  • It works, cool :) – Ursus Nov 06 '16 at 19:12
  • Hello Alex and Ursus, I have tried to get a weekday from a given date. and the below code worked for me. Just want to know, Is there a better way to do this `require 'date' d = Date.today weekday = Date.parse( '#{d.day} #{d.month} #{d.year}' ) puts weekday.strftime('%A') Output: **Monday** ` – Ravi Nov 09 '16 at 05:13
  • Well, it's a matter of tastes. You could do just `Date.today.strftime('%A')` – Ursus Nov 09 '16 at 10:03
  • Thank you very much – Ravi Nov 09 '16 at 19:18
