# Task 2: Most Frequent Word
# Submitted by: 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 language in the weekly challenge."
#        $w = "the"
# Output: "Perl"
# 
# The banned word "the" occurs 3 times.
# The other word "Perl" occurs 2 times.
