A checkbox (check box, tickbox, tick box) is a graphical widget that allows the user to make a binary choice, i.e. a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options. For example, the user may have to answer 'yes' (checked) or 'no' (not checked) on a simple yes/no question .
A checkbox is a graphical user interface element in which a computer user can make multiple selections from an array of options. A user generally cannot unclick a radio button ; one option must be selected.
The check mark is a predominant affirmative symbol of convenience in the English-speaking world because of its instant and simple composition.

The singular property of a radio button makes it distinct from checkboxes, where the user can select and unselect any number of items. 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).
The sole requirement of button interaction is that the user can execute a command by a click action. Thus, pictures and background areas can be programmed as buttons. When pressed, in addition to performing a predetermined task, buttons often undergo a graphical change to mimic a mechanical button being depressed.
