since only the total number of saturdays/sundays is what he wants to
know, you can use some clever math. Basically, the amount of saturdays
in a year is:
floor(365 (+1 if it's a leap year) (-days from january first to first
saturday) / 7);
and sundays = saturdays (-1 if the modulo from the top one is 0)

I can't quickly come up with a way to find out what day in the first
month would be a saturday... but if you know that, then this should work
for you
