# Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Quarter

A type that specifies the format for the quarter in a date format style.

## Declaration

```swift
struct Quarter
```

## Overview

Overview The type Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Quarter includes static factory variables that create custom Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Quarter objects:  |   |   |   |   |   |  To customize the month format in a string representation of a Date, use quarter(_:). The following example shows a variety of Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Quarter format styles applied to a date. let meetingDate = Date() // Oct 7, 2020 at 3:00 PM meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter(.abbreviated)) // Q4 meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter(.narrow)) // 4th quarter meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter(.oneDigit)) // 4 meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter(.twoDigits)) // 04 meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter(.wide)) // 4th quarter meetingDate.formatted(Date.FormatStyle().quarter()) // Q4

If no format is specified as a parameter, the abbreviated static variable is the default format. For more information about formatting dates, see the Date.FormatStyle.
