The quarter attribute returns the quarter of the year for any given Timestamp object (an equivalent of Python's datetime object).
For a given year, there are four (4) quarters. The quarter attribute will return 1 if the given date can be found in the first quarter. It returns 2 if the given date can be found in the second quarter, and so on.
The quarter attribute takes the following syntax:
Timestamp.quarter
Since it is an attribute, quarter takes no parameter value.
The quarter attribute returns an int from 1 to 4 representing the quarter for which the input date time object can be found.
