Student Grade Sorting
You are given a list of students with their names and grades. Your task is to sort these students first by their grades in descending order, and for students with the same grade, by their names in alphabetical order (ascending). Print the sorted list of students.
Input:
The first line contains an integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 100) — the number of students.
The next N lines each contain a string (name, 1 ≤ len(name) ≤ 100) followed by an integer (grade, 0 ≤ grade ≤ 100).
Output:
Print the sorted list of students in the format [[name1, grade1], [name2, grade2], ...].
Example:
Input:
3
Alice 85
Bob 90
Charlie 85
Output:
[[Bob, 90], [Alice, 85], [Charlie, 85]]
