(a) Develop a TOE chart for this application. You do not need to put it in table form, but list what would go in the Task column, what would go in the Object column, and what would go in the Event column for each row of the chart. Your chart should have at least four rows: two for input, one for processing, and one for output.
(b) Write pseudocode for the button-click event procedure in this application.
