# quarter

Identifier for the quarter of the calendar.

```
static var quarter: NSCalendar.Unit { get }
```

## Discussion

The corresponding value is an `NSInteger`. Equal to `kCFCalendarUnitQuarter`.

> Important:
> The `NSCalendarUnitQuarter` unit is largely unimplemented, and is not recommended for use.
