measuring how "efficient" is a function solving a problem

Im new to javascript, I remember there is a way to measure if the loop or the function you are using to solve a problem is fast or could be faster, I also remember it was a curve that could be linear or exponential and so on. Does somebody more experienced know what im talking about? i can't find any references to this. Thank you

You are probably thinking of Big O Notation such as O(n) for linear or O(2^n) for exponential. This is part of the larger subject called "complexity theory".

Hopefully these give you some words that you can google in order to study the topic further.
