Append List to Sum Target
You are given a list of integers nums and integers k and target. Consider an operation where we choose an integer -k ≤ e ≤ k and append it to nums.
Return the minimum number of operations required such that the sum of nums equals to target.
Constraints

Examples
Example 1
Input
- nums =
[2, 1] - k =
3 - target =
10
Output
- answer =
3
Explanation
We can append [3, 3, 1] to get [2, 1, 3, 3, 1] for a total sum of 10.
Example 2
Input
- nums =
[2, 1] - k =
2 - target =
-4
Output
- answer =
4
Explanation
We can append [-2, -2, -2, -1] to get [2, 1, -2, -2, -2, -1] for a total sum of -4.
