Your code seems to be copied (incorrectly) from somewhere as basic concepts, such as

  • only one function can exists with the same signature (the function sum was duplicated)
  • opening braces/parenthesis must be closes

are violated.

If you're new to programming, please, review some tutorials to familiarize yourself with the language basics.

I fixed these issues, tested the program: it runs, it worked for a random input (100 + 10 = 110), but I didn't go into details.

Here's the fixed code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main
{
    private String firstNum;
    private String secondNum;
    private String sum;
    
    public static void main(String[ ] args)
    {
        Main lab = new Main();
        lab.input(); // Read two binary numbers
        lab.output( ); // Display output
    }

    public void input()
    {
        Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter the first binary number: ");
        firstNum = reader.next();
        System.out.print("Enter the second binary number: ");
        secondNum = reader.next();
    }

    public static String sum(String n1, String n2)
    {
        int a = Integer.parseInt(n1, 2);
        int b = Integer.parseInt(n2, 2);
        return Integer.toBinaryString(a + b);
    }

    public void output()
    {
        System.out.println(firstNum + " + " + secondNum + " = " + sum(firstNum, secondNum));
    }
}
