# standaloneQuarterSymbols

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

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

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.
