<aside> 💡 279. Perfect Squares
Given an integer n
, return the least number of perfect square numbers that sum to n
.
A perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 1
, 4
, 9
, and 16
are perfect squares while 3
and 11
are not.
Example 1:
Input: n = 12
Output: 3
Explanation: 12 = 4 + 4 + 4.
Example 2:
Input: n = 13
Output: 2
Explanation: 13 = 4 + 9.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 104
