๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณGNAOH๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ Remember backslash is also used in Escape sequences so if you use single backslash the compiler will skip it so you need to use double backslashes \\

As the \ character represents an escape character (being combined with the next letter to make character such as \n, \r, etc.), you would need to enter 2 \ characters to be able to essentially cancel out the escape character and just have a backslash in your string (just replace all instances of one backslash to 2 and it should work ๐Ÿ‘).
