// Java program to demonstrate
// YearMonth.query() method
  
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create YearMonth object
        YearMonth yM = YearMonth.of(2020, 12);
  
        // apply query method of YearMonth class
        String value = yM.query(TemporalQueries
                                    .precision())
                           .toString();
  
        // print the result
        System.out.println("Precision value"
                           + " for YearMonth is "
                           + value);
    }
}


Output:

Precision value for YearMonth is Months

Program 2: Showing if query did not found the required object then it returns null.




// Java program to demonstrate
// YearMonth.query() method
  
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create YearMonth object
        YearMonth YM = YearMonth.of(2019, 3);
  
        // apply query method of YearMonth class
        // print the result
        System.out.println("Zone value for YearMonth is "
                           + YM.query(
                                 TemporalQueries.offset()));
    }
}
