Hey :) I've started studying and I have to submit programming work together with some other students (who don't know much about programming) One of them has produced 70 lines of code to sum the numbers from 1 to n... How do I tell them they suck? And how do I help them improve?

Tell them exactly what and why you would change $specificThing

Since I've been a noob in programming only recently and know how frustrating it is being completely new at programming what they probably need is encouragement and the feeling of having achieved something, maybe challenge them to write code that's half as long, if they'll struggle with it give them (little) tips
