    **Print operator**

    This creates a print op that will print when a tensor is accessed.

    Wraps the tensor passed in so that whenever that a tensor is accessed,
    the message `message` is printed, along with the current value of the
    tensor `t`.

    Args:
        input (Variable): A Tensor to print.
        summarize (int): Number of elements in the tensor to be print. If it's
                value is -1, then all elements in the tensor will be print.
        message (str): A string message to print as a prefix.
        first_n (int): Only log `first_n` number of times.
        print_tensor_name (bool, optional): Print the tensor name. Default: True.
        print_tensor_type (bool, optional): Print the tensor type. Defaultt: True.
        print_tensor_shape (bool, optional): Print the tensor shape. Default: True.
        print_tensor_layout (bool, optional): Print the tensor layout. Default: True.
        print_tensor_lod (bool, optional): Print the tensor lod. Default: True.
        print_phase (str): Which phase to displace, including 'forward',
                'backward' and 'both'. Default: 'both'. If set to 'backward', will
                only print the gradients of input tensor; If set to 'both', will
                both print the input tensor itself and the gradients of input tensor.

    Returns:

    NOTES:
        The input and output are two different variables, and in the

    each time step during the :code:`with` step.

class While:

    :api_attr: Static Graph

    while loop control flow. Repeat while body until cond is False.

    Note:
        A new OP :ref:`api_fluid_layers_while_loop` is highly recommended instead of ``While`` if the shape of parameter ``cond`` is [1].
        OP :ref:`api_fluid_layers_while_loop` is easier to use and is called with less code but does the same thing as ``While`` .

    Notice:
        Local variables created in ``While`` are similar to that created in while of C++, and cannot be referenced externally.
        As a result, they cannot be obtained through ``fetch_list`` of ``Executor``. If you would like to access the variable
        out of ``while`` , PaddlePaddle provides ``assign`` API to assign local variables to external. Please refer to example
        code 2 or refer to `issue#22724 <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/22724>`_.

    Args:
        cond(Variable): A Tensor whose data type is bool controlling whether to continue looping.
        is_test(bool, optional): A flag indicating whether execution is in test phase. Default value is False.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None.  Normally there is no need for user to set this property.  For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    """
    This API returns ``true_fn()`` if the predicate ``pred`` is true else
    ``false_fn()`` . Users could also set ``true_fn`` or ``false_fn`` to
    ``None`` if do nothing and this API will treat the callable simply returns
    ``None`` in this case.

    ``true_fn`` and ``false_fn`` should return same nest structure of tensors
    or both return ``None`` if user doens't like to return anything. A nest
    structure of tensors in PaddlePaddle is tensor(s), or tuple of tensors, or
    list of tensors.

    Note:
        1. The tuples or lists returned by ``true_fn`` and ``false_fn`` must have
        the same shape because of dataflow model of PaddlePaddle while the
        tensors in the tuples or the lists can have different shapes.

        2. This API could be used under both static mode or dygraph mode. If it
        is in dygraph mode, the API only runs one branch based on condition.

        3. If it is in static mode, any tensors or operations created outside
        or inside of ``true_fn`` and ``false_fn`` will be in net building
        regardless of which branch is selected at runtime. This has frequently
        surprised users who expected a lazy semantics. For example:

        .. code-block:: python

            import paddle

            a = paddle.zeros((1, 1))
            b = paddle.zeros((1, 1))
            c = a * b
            out = paddle.static.nn.cond(a < b, lambda: a + c, lambda: b * b)

        No matter whether ``a < b`` , ``c = a * b`` will be in net building and
        run. ``a + c`` and ``b * b`` will be in net building, but only one
        branch will be executed during runtime.

    Args:
        pred(Tensor): A boolean tensor whose numel should be 1. The boolean
            value determines whether to return the result of ``true_fn`` or
            ``false_fn`` .
        true_fn(callable, optional): A callable to be performed if ``pred`` is
            true. The default value is ``None`` .
        false_fn(callable, optional): A callable to be performed if ``pred`` is
            false. The default value is ``None`` .
        name(str, optional): The default value is ``None`` . Normally users
             don't have to set this parameter. For more information, please
             refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .
        return_names(sequence of string, optional): The default value is ``None`` .
             Normally users don't have to set this parameters.  A sequence of strings
             to represents the name of returned vars.  The structure of sequence must
             be same with return values of true_fn and false_fn.

    Returns:
        Tensor|list(Tensor)|tuple(Tensor): returns ``true_fn()`` if the
        predicate ``pred`` is true else ``false_fn()`` .

    Raises:
        TypeError: if ``true_fn`` or ``false_fn`` is not callable.
        ValueError: if ``true_fn`` and ``false_fn`` don't return the same nest
            structure of tensors.

class Switch:
    """
    :api_attr: Static Graph

    This class is used to implement Switch branch control function.
    Switch branch contains several case branches and one default branch.
    Switch control flow checks whether the case branch conditions are satisfied in turn,
    and only executes the statement after the first case branch that satisfies the conditions.
    If there is no case branch that satisfies the condition,
    only the statement following the default branch is executed.

    Note:
        A new OP :ref:`api_fluid_layers_case` is highly recommended instead of ``Switch`` if the shape of parameter ``cond`` is [1].
        OP :ref:`api_fluid_layers_case` is easier to use and is called with less code but does the same thing as ``Switch`` .

    Member Functions:
        case(condition): The case branch of Switch whose parameter cond is a scalar Variable of bool type. Only if the cond of the current case branch is True and the cond of the previous case branch is False, the statement after the case branch will be executed, and the statement after the case branch will not be executed.

        default(): The default branch of Switch. When cond of all case branches is False, the statement after default branch is executed.

    Case and default functions can only be used inside the scope of Switch, as shown below:

    .. code-block:: python

        '''
        with fluid.layers.Switch() as switch:
            with switch.case(cond1):
                i = fluid.layers.fill_constant(shape=[1], dtype='int64', value=1)
            with switch.case(cond2):
                i = fluid.layers.fill_constant(shape=[1], dtype='int64', value=2)

        '''

    Args:
        name(str, optional): The default value is None.  Normally there is no need for user to set this property.  For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .
