    This OP takes in the Tensor :attr:`x` with :attr:`x.dtype` and casts it
    to the output with :attr:`dtype`. It's meaningless if the output dtype
    equals the input dtype, but it's fine if you do so.

    Args:

def slice(input, axes, starts, ends):
    """
    This operator produces a slice of ``input`` along multiple axes. Similar to numpy:
    https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html
    Slice uses ``axes``, ``starts`` and ``ends`` attributes to specify the start and
    end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information
    to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to
    ``starts`` or ``ends`` such as :math:`-i`,  it represents the reverse position of the
    axis :math:`i-1` (here 0 is the initial position).
    If the value passed to ``starts`` or ``ends`` is greater than n
    (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n.
    For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended
    to pass in INT_MAX. The size of ``axes`` must be equal to ``starts`` and ``ends``.
    Following examples will explain how slice works:

    .. code-block:: text

        Case1:
            Given:
                data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]

                starts = [1, 0]
                ends = [2, 3]
            Then:
                result = [ [5, 6, 7], ]

        Case2:

                ends = [-1, 1000]       # -1 denotes the reverse 0th position of dimension 0.
            Then:
                result = [ [2, 3, 4], ] # result = data[0:1, 1:4]
    
    Args:

        axes (list|tuple): The data type is ``int32`` . Axes that `starts` and `ends` apply to .
        starts (list|tuple|Tensor): The data type is ``int32`` . If ``starts`` is a list or tuple, the elements of
                it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1]. If ``starts`` is an Tensor, it should be an 1-D Tensor.
                It represents starting indices of corresponding axis in ``axes``.
        ends (list|tuple|Tensor): The data type is ``int32`` . If ``ends`` is a list or tuple, the elements of
                it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1]. If ``ends`` is an Tensor, it should be an 1-D Tensor .
                It represents ending indices of corresponding axis in ``axes``.

    Returns:
        Tensor:  A ``Tensor``. The data type is same as ``input``.

    Raises:
        TypeError: The type of ``starts`` must be list, tuple or Tensor.
        TypeError: The type of ``ends`` must be list, tuple or Tensor.

def shard_index(input, index_num, nshards, shard_id, ignore_value=-1):
    """
    Reset the values of `input` according to the shard it beloning to.
    Every value in `input` must be a non-negative integer, and
    the parameter `index_num` represents the integer above the maximum
    value of `input`. Thus, all values in `input` must be in the range
    [0, index_num) and each value can be regarded as the offset to the beginning
    of the range. The range is further split into multiple shards. Specifically,
    we first compute the `shard_size` according to the following formula,
    which represents the number of integers each shard can hold. So for the
    i'th shard, it can hold values in the range [i*shard_size, (i+1)*shard_size).
    ::

        shard_size = (index_num + nshards - 1) // nshards

    For each value `v` in `input`, we reset it to a new value according to the
    following formula:
    ::
   
        v = v - shard_id * shard_size if shard_id * shard_size <= v < (shard_id+1) * shard_size else ignore_value

    That is, the value `v` is set to the new offset within the range represented by the shard `shard_id`
    if it in the range. Otherwise, we reset it to be `ignore_value`.

    Args:
        input (Tensor): Input tensor with data type int64 or int32. It's last dimension must be 1.
        index_num (int): An integer represents the integer above the maximum value of `input`.
        nshards (int): The number of shards.
        shard_id (int): The index of the current shard.

def flatten(x, start_axis=0, stop_axis=-1, name=None):
    r"""
    Flattens a contiguous range of axes in a tensor according to start_axis and stop_axis.

    Note:
        The output Tensor will share data with origin Tensor and doesn't have a Tensor copy in ``dygraph`` mode. 
        If you want to use the Tensor copy version, please use `Tensor.clone` like ``flatten_clone_x = x.flatten().clone()``.

    For Example:

    Split the input tensor into multiple sub-Tensors.
    
    Args:
        x (Tensor): A N-D Tensor. The data type is bool, float16, float32, float64, int32 or int64.
        num_or_sections (int|list|tuple): If ``num_or_sections`` is an int, then ``num_or_sections`` 
            indicates the number of equal sized sub-Tensors that the ``x`` will be divided into.
            If ``num_or_sections`` is a list or tuple, the length of it indicates the number of
            sub-Tensors and the elements in it indicate the sizes of sub-Tensors'  dimension orderly.
            The length of the list must not  be larger than the ``x`` 's size of specified ``axis``.
        axis (int|Tensor, optional): The axis along which to split, it can be a scalar with type 
            ``int`` or a ``Tensor`` with shape [1] and data type  ``int32`` or ``int64``.
            If :math::`axis < 0`, the axis to split along is :math:`rank(x) + axis`. Default is 0.
        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` .

    :attr:`x` is a Tensor with ndim :math:`R`

    has shape :math:`[i_0, i_1, ..., i_{K-2}, Q]` where :math:`Q \leq R` . :attr:`updates`
    is a Tensor with ndim :math:`K - 1 + R - Q` and its
    shape is :math:`index.shape[:-1] + x.shape[index.shape[-1]:]` .

    According to the :math:`[i_0, i_1, ..., i_{K-2}]` of :attr:`index` ,
    add the corresponding :attr:`updates` slice to the :attr:`x` slice
    which is obtained by the last one dimension of :attr:`index` .

def reshape(x, shape, name=None):
    """
    Changes the shape of ``x`` without changing its data.

    Note that the output Tensor will share data with origin Tensor and doesn't
    have a Tensor copy in ``dygraph`` mode. 
    If you want to use the Tensor copy version, please use `Tensor.clone` like 
    ``reshape_clone_x = x.reshape([-1]).clone()``.

    Some tricks exist when specifying the target shape.

        - 1. -1 means the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining dimensions. Thus one and only one dimension can be set -1.

        - 2. 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the corresponding dimension of x. The index of 0s in shape can not exceed the dimension of x.

    Here are some examples to explain it.

        - 1. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape is [6, 8], the reshape operator will transform x into a 2-D tensor with shape [6, 8] and leaving x's data unchanged.

        - 2. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape specified is [2, 3, -1, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor with shape [2, 3, 4, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this case, one dimension of the target shape is set to -1, the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining dimensions.

        - 3. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape is [-1, 0, 3, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor with shape [2, 4, 3, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this case, besides -1, 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the corresponding dimension of x.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): An N-D Tensor. The data type is ``float32``, ``float64``, ``int32``, ``int64`` or ``bool``
        shape (list|tuple|Tensor): Define the target shape. At most one dimension of the target shape can be -1.
                        The data type is ``int32`` . If ``shape`` is a list or tuple, the elements of it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1].
                        If ``shape`` is an Tensor, it should be an 1-D Tensor .
        name (str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Returns:
        Tensor: A reshaped Tensor with the same data type as ``x``.

def strided_slice(x, axes, starts, ends, strides, name=None):
    """
    This operator produces a slice of ``x`` along multiple axes. Similar to numpy:
    https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html
    Slice uses ``axes``, ``starts`` and ``ends`` attributes to specify the start and
    end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information
    to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to
    ``starts`` or ``ends`` such as :math:`-i`,  it represents the reverse position of the
    axis :math:`i-1` th(here 0 is the initial position). The ``strides`` represents steps of
    slicing and if the ``strides`` is negative, slice operation is in the opposite direction.
    If the value passed to ``starts`` or ``ends`` is greater than n
    (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n.
    For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended
    to pass in INT_MAX. The size of ``axes`` must be equal to ``starts`` , ``ends`` and ``strides``.
    Following examples will explain how strided_slice works:

def tensordot(x, y, axes=2, name=None):
    r"""
    This function computes a contraction, which sum the product of elements from two tensors along the given axes. 

    Args:
        x (Tensor): The left tensor for contraction with data type ``float32`` or ``float64``.
        y (Tensor): The right tensor for contraction with the same data type as ``x``.
        axes (int|tuple|list|Tensor, optional):  The axes to contract for ``x`` and ``y``, defaulted to integer ``2``.

            1. It could be a non-negative integer ``n``, 
               in which the function will sum over the last ``n`` axes of ``x`` and the first ``n`` axes of ``y`` in order.
        
            2. It could be a 1-d tuple or list with data type ``int``, in which ``x`` and ``y`` will be contracted along the same given axes. 
               For example, ``axes`` =[0, 1] applies contraction along the first two axes for ``x`` and the first two axes for ``y``.
        
            3. It could be a tuple or list containing one or two 1-d tuple|list|Tensor with data type ``int``. 
               When containing one tuple|list|Tensor, the data in tuple|list|Tensor specified the same axes for ``x`` and ``y`` to contract. 
               When containing two tuple|list|Tensor, the first will be applied to ``x`` and the second to ``y``. 
               When containing more than two tuple|list|Tensor, only the first two axis sequences will be used while the others will be ignored.
        
            4. It could be a tensor, in which the ``axes`` tensor will be translated to a python list 
               and applied the same rules described above to determine the contraction axes. 
               Note that the ``axes`` with Tensor type is ONLY available in Dygraph mode.
        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` .

    Return: 
        Output (Tensor): The contraction result with the same data type as ``x`` and ``y``. 
        In general, :math:`output.ndim = x.ndim + y.ndim - 2 \times n_{axes}`, where :math:`n_{axes}` denotes the number of axes to be contracted.
    
    NOTES:
        1. This function supports tensor broadcast, 
           the size in the corresponding dimensions of ``x`` and ``y`` should be equal, or applies to the broadcast rules.
        2. This function also supports axes expansion, 
           when the two given axis sequences for ``x`` and ``y`` are of different lengths, 
           the shorter sequence will expand the same axes as the longer one at the end. 
           For example, if ``axes`` =[[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 0]], 
           the axis sequence for ``x`` is [0, 1, 2, 3], 
           while the corresponding axis sequences for ``y`` will be expanded from [1, 0] to [1, 0, 2, 3].

    Put values into the destination array by given indices matrix along the designated axis.

    Args:
        arr (Tensor) : The Destination Tensor. Supported data types are float32 and float64.
        indices (Tensor) : Indices to put along each 1d slice of arr. This must match the dimension of arr,
            and need to broadcast against arr. Supported data type are int and int64.
        axis (int) : The axis to put 1d slices along. 
        reduce (string | optinal) : The reduce operation, default is 'assign', support 'add', 'assign', 'mul' and 'multiply'.
    Returns : 
        Tensor: The indexed element, same dtype with arr
