I took the liberty of formatting your code. This is how the method looks:

double suma (int num [ ]) {
    int i=num.length;
    int j=0;
    int s=0;

    for(j=0;j < i;j++) {
        return (double)(s);
    }
}

I suspect you attempted to write a sum-method, started with a stub, and didn't get it to compile. This is probably what you had in mind:

double suma (int num [ ]) {
    int i=num.length;
    int j=0;
    int s=0;

    for(j=0;j < i;j++) {
        // here you probably want s += num[j];
    }

    return (double)(s);

}

The Java compiler can only deduce that a statement (such as a return) is reachable in very simple cases. (To illustrate: this method does compile. Still not very useful though!)

double suma (int num [ ]) {
    int i=num.length;
    int j=0;
    int s=0;

    for(j=0; true; j++) {
        return (double)(s);
    }
}

---

for(j=0;j < i;j++)

{return (double)(s);}}} // here appears the error "missing return statement"

There might be case when it doesn't get into loop so it won't return anything.

You need to make sure that it should return for all the case
