    Mathematical Details

    The probability density function (pdf) is

    * :math:`high = b`,
    * :math:`Z`: is the normalizing constant.

    The parameters `low` and `high` must be shaped in a way that supports
    [broadcasting](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/develop/beginners_guide/basic_concept/broadcasting_en.html) (e.g., `high - low` is a valid operation).

    Args:
        low(int|float|list|numpy.ndarray|Tensor): The lower boundary of uniform distribution.The data type is int, float, list, numpy.ndarray or Tensor
        high(int|float|list|numpy.ndarray|Tensor): The higher boundary of uniform distribution.The data type is int, float, list, numpy.ndarray or Tensor
        name(str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
