Given an integer n, return the least number of perfect square numbers that sum to n.

\n\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 2:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 13\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: 13 = 4 + 9.\n
