Guess Number Game

Implement a guessing game function with limited attempts and feedback.

loops conditionals functions basic-io

You are to write a function `guess_number(secret, guess, attempts_left)`. The function simulates one guess in a number guessing game.

- `secret` (int): The number to guess.
- `guess` (int): The player's guess.
- `attempts_left` (int): The number of attempts left after this guess (must be >= 0).

The function should return a string based on the following rules:
1. If `guess` equals `secret`, return `"You guessed it!"`.
2. If `attempts_left` is 0, return `"Game over!"` regardless of the guess (unless the guess is correct, in which case rule 1 applies).
3. If `guess` is less than `secret`, return `"Too low!"`.
4. If `guess` is greater than `secret`, return `"Too high!"`.

Write the function with the exact signature `def guess_number(secret: int, guess: int, attempts_left: int) -> str:`.

Your implementation should not print anything; it should only return the described string.

Constraints

Inputs are integers. `attempts_left` is non-negative. The function must handle all integer values, including negative values for secret and guess.

Example

>>> guess_number(10, 5, 3)
'Too low!'
>>> guess_number(10, 15, 3)
'Too high!'
>>> guess_number(10, 10, 3)
'You guessed it!'
>>> guess_number(10, 5, 0)
'Game over!'

Hints

Check for correct guess first before checking attempts.

If attempts_left is 0 and guess is not correct, return 'Game over!'.

Use simple if-elif-else statements.
