In this particular case since you're returning integers 0 to 6, or -1, the ideal candidate is .indexOf() on an array

let days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"];
let dayValue = days.indexOf(day);

additionally, if you are having the user enter the text, you need to force the case to match, in this case, lowercase it.

Now it makes sense.

Why not use an array since you're using a zero based index?
