Translating English to Geek

This assignment tests your ability to describe events and event handlers using Geek, the precise language of a programmer.

Note that you must do this assignment in a group of at least two people. I will not accept individual submissions. The intent is that you talk about your answers with others and come up with a consensus. You need to use these terms actively rather than just listening to others.

The following English language statements describe the user interface of a greeting program. Translate each of them into Geek. (I did the first one to help you get started).

English: When the user clicks on the Say Hello button, the program adds "Hello, my friend!" to the greeting in the textbox.

Geek: The Text property of one of the buttons has the value "Say Hello." When the user clicks on that button, the program appends the characters " Hello, my friend!" to the value of the Text property of the textbox.

English: When the user clicks on the Say hi button, the program adds "Hi, pal!" to the greeting in the textbox.

Geek:

English: When the user clicks on the Clear button, the greeting disappears.

Geek:

English: When the user clicks on the Stop button, the program stops.
