RadioGroup class of Kotlin programming language is used to create a container which holds multiple RadioButtons. The RadioGroup class is beneficial for placing a set of radio buttons inside it because this class adds multiple-exclusion scope feature to the radio buttons. This feature assures that the user will be able to check only one of the radio buttons among all which belongs to a RadioGroup class. If the user checks another radio button, the RadioGroup class unchecks the previously checked radio button. This feature is very important when the developer wants to have only one answer to be selected such as asking the gender of a user.
