Perfect Squares
<p>Given an integer <code>n</code>, return <em>the least number of perfect square numbers that sum to</em> <code>n</code>.</p>

<p>A <strong>perfect square</strong> is an integer that is the square of an integer; in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, <code>1</code>, <code>4</code>, <code>9</code>, and <code>16</code> are perfect squares while <code>3</code> and <code>11</code> are not.</p>
