Wordcounter.py

"""
The user enters a textfile to be found.

The function word_counter() gets the file name, opens the file
reads the file and collects every word in the file in the dictionary all_words.

The function then adds the 10 most frequent words to the dictionary word_freq
and returns this dictionary.

The program then runs through the returned dictionary
and prints them inside a table
