a = ( a < 6 )

Looks  strange. the '<' is used to evaluate/test if a condition is true
or false. What the compiler is probably doing is testing the logical
(true or false) result of the expression rtc.time_element.tm_wday < 6
and then putting that back into rtc.time_element.tm_wday

Your week day will therefore be either 1 (result of evaluting the
right-hand expression is TRUE) or 0/False.

This statement also looks very strange to me, I fail to understand what
you were trying to achieve when writing this...
