Thread: Newbie Programming problem

Hi, I'm trying to write a program that takes in user input and only terminates when a certain word is entered.
I so far have this

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class Example
{
 
    private void getInput(String line)
    {
 
       BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       System.out.print("Enter String: ");
 
           try
                {
                        line = reader.readLine();
                 }
                   catch(IOException e)
                   {
                        System.out.println ( "Error" ) ; 
                    } 
 
 
  while(true)
  { if ("terminate".equals(line))
           {
              break;
          }
 
     else
        {
            System.out.println(line);
           line = reader.readLine();
        }
    }
 
}  
 
 
private static void main(String[] args)
{
  new Example().getInput(String line);
}
}

When I compile this it tells me that it expects ')' in the last method. Anyone know how I can fix this?
