There must be some mistake on your part I'm afraid:

The mm number indicates the focal length of a lens, for example 35mm. If that length is just a single, fixed number, it is a so called "prime lens" which only offers that fixed focal length. If there are two "from-to" numbers, for example 16-55mm, it is a zoom lens as these numbers indicate the minimum focal length as well as the maximum FL - it also covers everything inbetween.

So if you indeed had a 35mm lens for your Canon, it would've also been a prime lens.
