quarterOfYear( [month] )

Returns the quarter of the year.

By default, the function returns the quarter of the year for the current month in the current year (according to local time). To determine the quarter for a particular month, provide either a month or a Date object.

var q = quarterOfYear( new Date() );
// returns <number>

q = quarterOfYear( 4 );
// returns 2

A month may be either a month's integer value, three letter abbreviation, or full name (case insensitive).

var q = quarterOfYear( 4 );
// returns 2

q = quarterOfYear( 'April' );
// returns 2

q = quarterOfYear( 'apr' );
// returns 2
