How to Get the Date in JavaScript?

I need a function that, given a date (in the format MM/DD/YYYY), returns the day of the week as a string. Each day name must be one of the following strings: "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", or "Saturday". To illustrate, the day of the week for "12/07/2016" is "Wednesday".
