question about adding using ArrayList using terminal

[chmo]

hi...
I have some questions...
Firstly, I have an ArreyList that is stored two String "Name", "Description"
This is a database of students

private void addStudents () 
{
   addStudent("ABC","lalala");
   addStudent("DEF","hohoho");
}

I also have the methods that adds, modify and delete students from the term list.

protected boolean addStudent (String name, String description) 
    {
        boolean added = false;
        if (!nameExists(name)) {
            namesList.add(new Student(name, description));
            addNameToList(name);
            added = true;
        }

        return added;
    }

Using this for example I can add new students in my list. The problem is that I want to have interaction using BlueJ terminal. That means that:

while (!name.equals("add new")) 
{
     addName (String name, String description)
}

I know that is is not true... I want any suggestion about what should I do to do this work?

tnx!!!

So, why do you disapprove of warning others to check and make sure that they are not wasting their time?
