There isn't one! Writing that functionality is part of your assignment.

(Java does have a feature for generating random numbers, though! Check out the `Random' class)
 
I think what the program specifications are asking you is to write a program that picks two numbers and asks the user to input their sum.

Like Hurkyl said, there is a Random class and an object of that class has a nextInt(max) method that will pick a random integer from 0 to max (I forget if it's inclusive or not).
