Selecting a radio button to determine a value

**assassin204** · 05-07-2010, 10:05 PM

Hi,

I am doing a project, and am need of some help with my code. My assignment is to basically make a program that calculates a household's carbon emissons, in doing this, I have to calculate whether the households cars are running Unleaded, Diesel or LPG fuel for their car...To do this i have made 3 radio buttons (Unleaded , Diesel, LPG). From this i want to be able to determine the amount of fuel used with either Unleaded , Diesel, LPG and then * it by either:

x2.8 Unleaded
x3 Diesel
x1.8 LPG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So thats pretty much where im stuck

If u can help, i'd be more than grateful.

Thanks,
