+Task 1: Odd Character
+
+Submitted by: [46]Mohammad Sajid Anwar
+     __________________________________________________________________
+
+   You are given two strings, $s and $t. The string $t is generated using
+   the shuffled characters of the string $s with an additional character.
+
+   Write a script to find the additional character in the string $t..
+
+Example 1
+
+Input: $s = "Perl" $t = "Preel"
+Output: "e"
+
+Example 2
+
+Input: $s = "Weekly" $t = "Weeakly"
+Output: "a"
+
+Example 3
+
+Input: $s = "Box" $t = "Boxy"
+Output: "y"
+

+Task 2: Most Frequent Word
+
+Submitted by: [47]Mohammad Sajid Anwar
+     __________________________________________________________________
+
+   You are given a paragraph $p and a banned word $w.
+
+   Write a script to return the most frequent word that is not banned.
+
+Example 1
+
+Input: $p = "Joe hit a ball, the hit ball flew far after it was hit."
+       $w = "hit"
+Output: "ball"
+
+The banned word "hit" occurs 3 times.
+The other word "ball" occurs 2 times.
+
+Example 2
+
+Input: $p = "Perl and Raku belong to the same family. Perl is the most popular l
+anguage in the weekly challenge."
+       $w = "the"
+Output: "Perl"
+
+The banned word "the" occurs 3 times.
+The other word "Perl" occurs 2 times.
