I have this code which should take the radio button input do a little math and display a popup. which it does fine. but then it is supposed to re validate and ask the next question. when i get to the second question, the answer always comes out as the isSelected(true) value no matter which radio button you click on. SO to be clear the first time through it works fin but when the second question comes up, it just takes the default radio button every time.

private Main gui;

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    String answer = "";
    double val = 1;
    //get current answer set
    String [] anArr = gui.getAnswers(gui.currentStage, gui.currentQuestion);


    if(e.getSource() == gui.exit){
        System.exit(0);
    }
    if(e.getSource() == gui.submit){

        if(gui.a1.isSelected()){
           answer = anArr[0];
