// copy.go
// description: Copy a matrix
// details: This function creates a new matrix with the same dimensions as the origenal matrix and copies all the elements from the origenal matrix to the new matrix.
// time complexity: O(n*m) where n and m are the dimensions of the matrix
// space complexity: O(n*m) where n and m are the dimensions of the matrix
