Working with File Paths: The `os.path` Module
When we work with files, we often hardcode the file path as a simple string, like 'myfolder/myfile.txt'. This works, but it's not robust. What happens if your script is run on a different operating system? Windows uses a backslash (\) as a path separator, while macOS and Linux use a forward slash (/). Hardcoding paths with one type of slash can make your script fail on other systems.
