Below programs illustrate the ChronoUnit.isDateBased() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoUnit.isDateBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get ChronoUnit
        ChronoUnit chronoUnit
            = ChronoUnit.valueOf("DECADES");
  
        // apply isDateBased()
        boolean isDateBasedAttribute
            = chronoUnit.isDateBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println(
            "DECADES"
            + " is Date based attribute:"
            + isDateBasedAttribute);
    }
}

Output:

DECADES is Date based attribute:true

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoUnit.isDateBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get ChronoUnit
        ChronoUnit chronoUnit
            = ChronoUnit.valueOf("MINUTES");
  
        // apply isDateBased()
        boolean isDateBasedAttribute
            = chronoUnit.isDateBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println(
            "MINUTES"
            + " is Date based attribute:"
            + isDateBasedAttribute);
    }
}
