# A code to illustrate the .is_quarter_end attribute in Pandas # importing the pandas library import pandas as pd # creating a Timestamp object a = pd.Timestamp(2022, 4, 30) b = pd.Timestamp(2022, 4, 1) # checking if date is the first day of the quarter print(a.is_quarter_start) print(b.is_quarter_start)
Implementing the .is_quarter_start attribute
