Write a program to copy an existing text file from your hard disk to another file that you will call: Your Last Name.txt, e.g. if your last name was Smith, the output file name would be Smith.txt. You can create a text file and add two or three lines of text to it. You may use the attached program as your program or write your own. Please note the inclusion of at the top of the program. Also pay attention to the open and close statements in the program.
