perfect squares: 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ... 0 and 1 are perfect square numbers
primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, ... by definition, 1 is not a prime number
2 to 29 is a larger range than 0 to 16
if you started with 1 as the 1st perfect square, for some reason, such as a restriction to natural numbers, then 1 to 25 is still a range of 25-1 = 24
compared to a range of 29-2 = 27 for primes
the 1st 5 perfect squares have a smaller range than the 1st 10 primes
a perfect square is an integer whose square root is also an integer.
prime numbers are divisible only by 2 integers, itself and one other integer, so 1 is not a prime and also not a composite
