Hi June,

class room
{
   setText(char[] roomtext)
   {
    // print or whatever you wanna do with roomtext
   }
}

class town : room
{
  setText(char[] roomtext, char[] towntext)
  {
   .setText(roomtext); // have a look at the dot in front of setText, 
calls room setText()
   // do something with towntext
  }
}
