Sort Movie Release Years

You need to help a movie database system sort movies by their release years. Write a program that sorts a list of movies in ascending order based on their release years. If two movies have the same release year, sort them alphabetically by movie title. Input: The first line contains an integer M, the number of movies. The next M lines each contain a movie title (a string) followed by the release year (an integer). Output: Print the sorted list of movies with their release years, one per line, in the format 'Title Year'. Example: Input: 4 Inception 2010 Interstellar 2014 The Matrix 1999 Avatar 2009 Output: The Matrix 1999 Avatar 2009 Inception 2010 Interstellar 2014
