The program is written on 9 lines and the line by line explanation is as follows:
Line 1:
This defines the function
Line 2:
This begins a try except exception that returns an exception if an error is encountered
Line 3:
This open the source file using open and with statement
Line 4:
This open the destination file using open and with statement and also makes it writable
Line 5:
This iterates through the content of the source file; line by line
Line 6:
This writes the content to the destination file
Line 7 & 8:
This is returned if an error is encountered
Line 9:
This prints that the file has been successfully copied
To call the function from main; use
copy(filename1, filename2)
Where filename1 and filename2 are names of source and destination files.
Take for instance:
filename1 = "test1.txt"
filename1 = "test2.txt"
copy(filename1, filename2)
<em>The above will copy from test1.txt to test2.txt</em>
