Referencing a File in Windows
In Windows, there are a couple additional ways of referencing a file. That is because natively, Windows file path employs the backslash "\" instead of the slash. Python allows using both in a Windows system, but there are a couple of pitfalls to watch out for. To sum them up:

Python lets you use OS-X/Linux style slashes "/" even in Windows. Therefore, you can refer to the file as 'C:/Users/narae/Desktop/alice.txt'. RECOMMENDED.

If using backslash, because it is a special character in Python, you must remember to escape every instance: 'C:\\Users\\narae\\Desktop\\alice.txt'

Alternatively, you can prefix the entire file name string with the rawstring marker "r": r'C:\Users\narae\Desktop\alice.txt'. That way, everything in the string is interpreted as a literal character, and you don't have to escape every backslash.
