It gets used here frequently, but not having majored in programming, I'm not familiar with it. One might say:
Don't do it that way, it will result in O(n**2)! Or something like that. I read this to mean that the execution time varies with the square of the number of iterations, or items being sorted etc.. I want to google this, but I'm not sure what keywords to use. Is there a wikipedia article about this subject? I imagine that it has a concise name.
