Transaction Sorter

You have a list of transactions represented by a tuple with (transaction_id, amount, timestamp). You need to sort this list primarily by amount in descending order and then by timestamp in ascending order in case of ties. Input: - The first line contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 1000), the number of transactions. - The next n lines contain transaction_id (a string), amount (a float), and timestamp (a string in YYYY-MM-DD format). Output: - Print each transaction in the sorted order. Each transaction should be printed in the format 'transaction_id amount timestamp'. Example: Input: 3 TX1001 150.50 2022-09-01 TX1002 200.75 2022-01-15 TX1003 150.50 2022-02-20 Output: TX1002 200.75 2022-01-15 TX1001 150.50 2022-09-01 TX1003 150.50 2022-02-20
