Java Time period in decimal number of years

Question

If I calculate the difference between 2 LocalDate\'s in java.time using:

Period p = Period.between(testDate, today);

Answer 1

You mentioned in one of your comments that you need quarter year precision if you need the current quarter you can use IsoFields.QUARTER_YEARS:

double yearAndQuarter = testDate.until(today, IsoFields.QUARTER_YEARS) / 4.0;

This way you will actually use the time api, always get the correct result and @Mike won't have to loathe anything.
