Program Plan Intro
Radio button
- A radio button or option button is a graphical control element that allows the user to choose only one of a predefined set of mutually exclusive options.
- The singular property of a radio button makes it distinct from a checkbox, which allows more than one (or no) item to be selected and for the unselected state to be restored.
- Radio buttons are arranged in groups of two or more and displayed on screen as, for example, a list of circular holes that can contain white space (for unselected) or a dot (for selected).
Check box
- A checkbox is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) widget that permits the user to make a binary choice, which is a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options.
- Often, a series of checkboxes is presented, each with a binary choice between two options.
- Then the user may select several of the choices.

- What happens when you move the cursor of your mouse over the scaling handle that is located on the edge or corner of a box?arrow_forwardYou have a board divided into N xN squares and two robots, R1 and R2. Each square on the board has a number written on it R1 starts at the top left corner square of the board and R2 starts at the top right corner square of the board. Your aim is to move the robots so that R1 reaches the bottom right corner square and R2 reaches the bottom left corner square. You have a remote control with two buttons, blue and yellow, that control the robots as follows. • Whenever you press the blue button, R1 moves one square to the right and R2 moves one square down. • Whenever you press the yellow button, R1 moves one square down and R2 moves one square left. The robots are not allowed to move off the board-if pushing a button would force either one of the robots to move off the board, the button push has no effect and both robots stay where they are. For each robot, you compute a score which is the sum of the numbers on the squares that it visits along the path that it follows from its starting…arrow_forward
