How do I discover the Quarter of a given Date?

Question

Given a java.util.Date object how do I go about finding what Quarter it\'s in?

Assuming Q1 = Jan Feb Mar, Q2 = Apr, May, Jun, etc.

Answer 1

Make sure that the thisMonth is at least a float or a double, not an int:

String quarter = thisMonth/3 <= 1 ? "Q1" : thisMonth/3 <= 2 ? "Q2" : thisMonth/3 <= 3 ? "Q3" : "Q4";
