    This OP concatenates the input along the axis.

            All the Tensors in ``x`` must have same data type.

            It's a scalar with data type int or a Tensor with shape [1] and data type int32 
            or int64. The effective range is [-R, R), where R is Rank(x). When ``axis < 0``,
            it works the same way as ``axis+R``. Default is 0.

            need for user to set this property. For more information, please
            refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
    Raises:
        TypeError: The dtype of ``x`` must be one of float16, float32, float64, int32 and int64. 
        TypeError: The ``axis`` must be int or Tensor. The dtype of ``axis`` must be int32 or int64 when it's a Tensor.

    This OP will squeeze the dimension(s) of size 1 of input tensor x's shape. 

    If axis is provided, it will remove the dimension(s) by given axis that of size 1. 
    If the dimension of given axis is not of size 1, the dimension remain unchanged. 
    If axis is not provided, all dims equal of size 1 will be removed.

        Case1:

          Input:
            x.shape = [1, 3, 1, 5]  # If axis is not provided, all dims equal of size 1 will be removed.
            axis = None

            out.shape = [3, 5]

            x.shape = [1, 3, 1, 5]  # If axis is provided, it will remove the dimension(s) by given axis that of size 1.
            axis = 0
          Output:
            out.shape = [3, 1, 5]

            x.shape = [1, 3, 1, 5]  # If the dimension of one given axis (3) is not of size 1, the dimension remain unchanged. 
            axis = [0, 2, 3]
          Output:
            out.shape = [3, 5]
