Please solve the programming task below using a self-contained code snippet in a markdown code block.

You are given an integer array nums and two integers limit and goal. The array nums has an interesting property that abs(nums[i]) <= limit.
Return the minimum number of elements you need to add to make the sum of the array equal to goal. The array must maintain its property that abs(nums[i]) <= limit.
Note that abs(x) equals x if x >= 0, and -x otherwise.
 
Please complete the following python code precisely:
```python
class Solution:
    def minElements(self, nums: List[int], limit: int, goal: int) -> int:
```
