Why do you use radio buttons in a user interface instead of check boxes?
If you want the user to be able to pick any one of the multiple choices, use the radio button. On the other hand, if you want the users to be able to pick more than one option from the available choices, use the checkbox. Let's consider usage examples for both the form fields.
Which input control mostly used for yes or no answer?
Use radio buttons if you expect the answer to be equally distributed. If I expect the answer to be heavily biased to one answer I prefer the checkbox. That way the user either makes an explicit statement or just acknowledges the expected answer.
Can radio buttons and check boxes ever be used for the same situation?
Radio buttons and checkboxes have a similar function and are used in the same context, but there's nothing uniform about their appearance. Radio buttons represent mutually exclusive selections, while checkboxes represent mutually inclusive ones. Both are commonly used together on forms to select options from a list.
What is diff between checkbox and radio?
Checkboxes and radio buttons are elements for making selections. Checkboxes allow the user to choose items from a fixed number of alternatives, while radio buttons allow the user to choose exactly one item from a list of several predefined alternatives.
