So. I have made following code and run. but, quarter value is zero.

Why quarter value is

Answer 1

It seems that there is an issue with the NSQuarterCalendarUnit being ignored (haven't verified, but did see a bug reported). Anyway, it is simple enough to get around... Just use the NSDateFormatter class.

// After your NSDate *date, add...
NSDateFormatter *quarterOnly = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[quarterOnly setDateFormat:@"Q"];

int quarter = [[quarterOnly stringFromDate:date] intValue];

// Then change the quarter NSLog too
NSLog(@"quarter :    %5d", quarter);

Should work fine...

How about simply:

([comp2 month]-1)/3+1;
