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

<p>Assuming Q1 = Jan Feb Mar, Q2 = Apr, May, Jun, etc.</p>

Since Java 8, the quarter is accessible as a field using classes in the
java.time
package.
```
```
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.temporal.IsoFields;

LocalDate myLocal = LocalDate.now();
quarter = myLocal.get(IsoFields.QUARTER_OF_YEAR);
```
```
In older versions of Java, you could use:
```
```
import java.util.Date;

Date myDate = new Date();
int quarter = (myDate.getMonth() / 3) + 1;
```
```
Be warned, though that
getMonth
was deprecated early on:
As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH).
Instead you could use a
```
Calendar
```
object like this:
```
```
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

Calendar myCal = new GregorianCalendar();
int quarter = (myCal.get(Calendar.MONTH) / 3) + 1;
```
```
