Building on your knowledge of file operations and context managers, you will now implement a context manager-based solution to copy content from one file to another. This challenge reinforces the importance of managing resources safely - particularly ensuring that both the source and destination files are always closed properly, even if an error occurs during copying. You will use `with` statements to open and close files automatically, applying the file reading and writing techniques covered in previous chapters.
