Hey, I'll help you a little bit, but as Amadeus said, i prefer to see a good faith effort on your part.
Anyways, I'll help you a little bit.

What you can do to let the computer pick a random number is to use the java.util.Random class.

You import it like this, don't forget to make an object!

CODE

import java.util.Random;

Random Object = new Random();

public class TryIt

public static void main(String[] args)
{
int nri = -5;
while(!(nri > 0 && nri <= 30))
{
double nrd = Math.random();
nrd = nrd * 100;
nri = (int)nrd;
System.out.println ("not " + nri);

}
System.out.println (nri);
}

real quick off the bat,
im in a java class right now,
and alot of professors will take off for not have descriptive variable names,
just so you know
nri and nrd as real words would make the whole program more readable.

CODE

//Define Random generator and picks a random number
    Random generator = new Random();
    int realNum = generator.nextInt(100)+1;


thats an example of a random number picker,
(note that the nextInt(100) will return a random number from 0-99, so the plus one shifts the field to 1 through 100.


from that you want to ask the user for a guess,
with the scanner class most likely,

then do a ladder if else
if the realNum is greater do one thing
if its less do another,
and if its equal display the user a reward.
