}
public CreateRadioButton(){
JRadioButton Male,Female;
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Creating a JRadioButton Component");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();

Male = new JRadioButton("Male");
buttonGroup.add(Male);
panel.add(Male);
Female = new JRadioButton("Female");
buttonGroup.add(Female);
panel.add(Female);
Male.setSelected(true);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(400,400);
frame.setVisible(true);
