How do I use formcalc to add radio buttion values?
For example,
A multiple choice quiz has a question then options A B C (radio buttons). The correct answer is A so its value is 1. B and C values are 0.
Then students clicks a button and the values get added, displayed and emailed all at once.

Since you mention formcalc I assume you are using LiveCycle Designer. You don't need a click for this--use a Calculate event instead. The values will calculate when the user tabs out of the field.

Set the values of the radio buttons in the Binding tab of the Object palette. Give each button a unique name.

Here is a simple sample that uses the fully qualified paths to the radio buttons. Put this on the field where you want the total to appear.

form1.#subform[0].subform1.RadioButtonList.bttn1+form1.#subform[0].subform1.RadioButtonList.bttn2+form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList.bttn1a
