Generation

A week number convention assigns a number (1-52 or 53) to each week of the year, but different systems exist for determining which day starts the week and how to handle the first partial week of January. The most common standard, ISO 8601, says weeks start on Monday, and Week 1 is the first week containing a Thursday (or equivalently, the week containing January 4th). This means late December dates can belong to Week 1 of the next year, and early January dates can belong to Week 52/53 of the previous year. Other systems, like those used in North America, may start weeks on Sunday and always assign January 1st to Week 1, leading to different numbering.
