In this task, the job is to create a file called "output.txt", and place in it the contents of the file "input.txt", ''via an intermediate variable.''
Create a file called   "output.txt",   and place in it the contents of the file   "input.txt",   ''via an intermediate variable''.
In other words, your program will demonstrate: (1) how to read from a file into a variable, and (2) how to write a variable's contents into a file.

In other words, your program will demonstrate:
::#   how to read from a file into a variable
::#   how to write a variable's contents into a file
