A `query <https://help.semmle.com/QL/ql-handbook/queries.html>`__ consists of a “select” clause that indicates what results should be returned. Typically it will also provide a “from” clause to declare some variables, and a “where” clause to state conditions over those variables. For more information on the structure of query files (including links to useful topics in the `QL language handbook <https://help.semmle.com/QL/ql-handbook/index.html>`__), see `Introduction to query files <https://help.semmle.com/QL/learn-ql/ql/writing-queries/introduction-to-queries.html>`__.
In our example here, the first line of the query imports the `CodeQL for Java library <https://help.semmle.com/qldoc/java/>`__, which defines concepts like ``IfStmt`` and ``Block``.
In our example here, the first line of the query imports the `CodeQL library for Java <https://help.semmle.com/qldoc/java/>`__, which defines concepts like ``IfStmt`` and ``Block``.
The query proper starts by declaring two variablesifStmt and block. These variables represent sets of values in the database, according to the type of each of the variables. For example, ``ifStmt`` has the type ``IfStmt``, which means it represents the set of all if statements in the program.
If we simply selected these two variables::

You can imagine a predicate to be a self-contained from-where-select statement, that produces an intermediate relation, or table. In this case, the ``isEmpty`` predicate will be the set of all blocks which are empty.

A QL class allows you to name a set of values and define (member) predicates on them.
A class has at least one supertype and optionally a **characteristic predicate**; it contains the values that belong to *all* supertypes *and* satisfy the characteristic predicate, if provided.

In the example, declaring a variable “EmptyBlock e” will allow it to range over only those blocks that have zero statements.
