problem

Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers. Let f:R→Rf : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be a function such that for all real numbers xx and y,y, f(x2)+f(y2)=f(x+y)2−2xy.f(x^2) + f(y^2) = f(x + y)^2 - 2xy.Let S=∑n=−20192019f(n).S = \sum_{n = -2019}^{2019} f(n).Determine the number of possible values of S.S.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Let R be the set of real numbers.  Let f:R→R be a function such that for all real numbers x and y,
f(x²)+f(y²)=f(x+y)²−2xy.Let
S=∑_(n=−2019)²⁰¹⁹f(n).Determine the number of possible values of S.
Original LaTeX notation
Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers.  Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that for all real numbers $x$ and $y,$
\[f(x^2) + f(y^2) = f(x + y)^2 - 2xy.\]Let
\[S = \sum_{n = -2019}^{2019} f(n).\]Determine the number of possible values of $S.$
