Hello Teachers,

Would you please verify if the following paragraph is grammatically correct? Do you suggest any change in the paragraph?

Sorry, if the explanation is bit off the discussion. Refactoring is a process of making an ineffecient code into an efficient code that would improve the performance of the system , and meet the QOS-Quality of Service-requirements.
