2. Most Frequent Word

Easy

You are given a paragraph that may have letters both in lowercase and uppercase, spaces, and punctuation. You have also given a list of banned words. Now your task is to find the most frequent word which is not in the list of banned words. There will always be a solution, and the solution will be unique.

While comparing words, you can ignore whether the letter is lowercase or uppercase. For example, ‘AsK’ and ‘aSK’ are the same. The words will always contain only alphabets or we can say words will be separated by spaces or punctuation. The answer will be in uppercase letters.

The words in the banned list will always be in upper letters and free from punctuation and spaces.

For example :

Paragraph = ‘It's a square SqUare. It's a FLAT flat.’ 
Banned =[FLAT, IT, S]. 
So we can see these words [IT, S, SQUARE, FLAT ]  are most frequent.
Now we will look at to banned list and we can see 3 of the words are banned.
So we have a unique answer SQUARE which has a frequency of 2 and not on the banned list.
Problem approach

You are given two strings 'A' and 'B' of words. Your task is to find out the most frequent and lexicographically smallest word in string 'A', which is not present in string 'B'. If no such word is present in 'A', then return -1.

You are given a 'M' x 'N' matrix of characters, 'CHARACTER_MATRIX' and a string 'WORD'. Your task is to find and print all occurrences of the string in the given character matrix. You are allowed to search the string in all eight possible directions, i.e. North, South, East, West, North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West.

Note: There should not be any cycle in the output path. The entire string must lie inside the matrix boundary. You should not jump across boundaries, i.e. from row 'N' - 1 to 0 or column 'N' - 1 to 0 or vice versa.

Example:

Consider below matrix of characters,
[ 'D', 'E', 'X', 'X', 'X' ]
[ 'X', 'O', 'E', 'X', 'E' ] 
[ 'D', 'D', 'C', 'O', 'D' ]
[ 'E', 'X', 'E', 'D', 'X' ]
[ 'C', 'X', 'X', 'E', 'X' ]

If the given string is "CODE", below are all its occurrences in the matrix:

'C'(2, 2) 'O'(1, 1) 'D'(0, 0) 'E'(0, 1)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(1, 1) 'D'(2, 0) 'E'(3, 0)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(1, 1) 'D'(2, 1) 'E'(1, 2)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(1, 1) 'D'(2, 1) 'E'(3, 0)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(1, 1) 'D'(2, 1) 'E'(3, 2)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(2, 3) 'D'(2, 4) 'E'(1, 4)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(2, 3) 'D'(3, 3) 'E'(3, 2)
'C'(2, 2) 'O'(2, 3) 'D'(3, 3) 'E'(4, 3)
Problem approach

You are given a 'M' x 'N' matrix of characters, 'CHARACTER_MATRIX' and a string 'WORD'. Your task is to find and print all occurrences of the string in the given character matrix. You are allowed to search the string in all eight possible directions, i.e. North, South, East, West, North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West.
