Below programs illustrate the query() method:
Program 1:

// 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())); 
    } 
}
