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

with java8 you may use formatter:

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import java.time.LocalDate

println("withQuarter: " + LocalDate.of("2016".toInt,"07".toInt,1).format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyQMM")))

withQuarter: 2016307
