The StreamVerse Back Catalog
A licensing review is underway at StreamVerse, and legal works through the catalogue one cut-off year at a time: anything released before the year under review comes up for renewal in this round, and anything released in that year or later waits for a later round. The cut-off moves as they work back through the contracts, so it comes with the request rather than being fixed.
Shows
| id | title | genre | release_year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nebula Drift | sci-fi | 2021 |
| 2 | The Long Kitchen | drama | 2019 |
| 3 | Byte Size | comedy | 2022 |
| 4 | Deep Trench | documentary | 2020 |
| 5 | Neon Alley | sci-fi | 2023 |
Input
The DataFrame above is already built for you — the show rows are not read from input. What does arrive is a single line holding the cut-off year, as a whole number.
Task: Print a sorted Python list of the titles released strictly before the cut-off year. A show released in the cut-off year itself waits for a later round.
Example: if two titles came up in a round, you'd print ['A Quiet Show', 'Another Show'].
