# standaloneQuarterSymbols

A list of standalone quarter names in this calendar, localized to the Calendar’s `locale`.

```
var standaloneQuarterSymbols: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

For example, for English in the Gregorian calendar, returns `["1st quarter", "2nd quarter", "3rd quarter", "4th quarter"]`.

> Note:
> Stand-alone properties are for use in places like calendar headers. Non-stand-alone properties are for use in context (for example, “Saturday, November 12th”).

> Note:
> By default, Calendars have no locale set. If you wish to receive a localized answer, be sure to set the `locale` property first - most likely to `Locale.autoupdatingCurrent`.
