Your task for today is to write a Python program that merges multiple text files into one. This is a handy skill if you ever need to combine logs, notes, or data dumps into a single file for easier analysis.


📝 Project Task

The program should:

  • Start with 2–3 predefined .txt files (you can generate them yourself manually or use these text files here).

  • Open and read the content of each file.

  • Merge them into a new file called merged.txt.

  • Print a success message when done.


📌 Expected Output

When run, your program should create a new file called merged.txt containing the combined content of all the source files. For example, if the input files contain:

file1.txt:

Hello from file 1

file2.txt:

This is file 2

merged.txt:

Hello from file 1
This is file 2
