If ``shape`` is a Tensor, it should be a 1-D Tensor(with the data type int32 or int64). dtype (str|np.dtype, optional): The data type of the output Tensor. Supported data types: float32, float64. Default is None, use global default dtype (see ``get_default_dtype`` for details). 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`. Returns: Tensor: A Tensor filled with random values sampled from a uniform distribution in the range [0, 1), with ``shape`` and ``dtype``.
