So yes, someone with no experience in coding can tell you whether or not you did a good job writing the code.

But you're not dealing with a finished product and, in this case, there is no finished product -- it's just a demo of programming ability and method. Even if you were working with a finished product, with hardware running the actual software, you wouldn't necessarily know if I used the most efficient methods because you may not be aware of the underlying memory requirements or whether or not the speed between your input and the response is as fast as it can be.

You're just dealing with my write-up of the solution. Given my write-up of the solution, can you tell me whether or not it is coded well? Use your abilities of deductive reasoning or -- if you are so educated -- your professional legal training to tell me whether or not my code is as efficiently designed as possible.

Once finished, I can tell you if the code works.

Relating computer language coding to the coding contained in DNA - who cares if it is the 'most efficient' as long as it works.
