    operator by your self. instead of using layers.

    Parameters:

        dtype (str): Data type of the parameter
        name (str, optional): For detailed information, please refer to
           :ref:`api_guide_Name` . Usually name is no need to set and None by default.
        attr (ParamAttr, optional): Attributes of the parameter
        is_bias (bool, optional): This can affect which default initializer is chosen
                       when default_initializer is None. If is_bias,
                       initializer.Constant(0.0) will be used. Otherwise,

    This OP returns a 1-D Tensor with spaced values within a given interval.

    Values are generated into the half-open interval [``start``, ``end``) with
    the ``step``. (the interval including ``start`` but excluding ``end``).

    If ``dtype`` is float32 or float64, we advise adding a small epsilon to
    ``end`` to avoid floating point rounding errors when comparing against ``end``.

    Parameters:
        start(float|int|Tensor): Start of interval. The interval includes this
            value. If ``start`` is a Tensor, it is a 1-D Tensor with shape [1],

        end(float|int|Tensor): End of interval. The interval does not include
            this value. If ``end`` is a Tensor, it is a 1-D Tensor with shape
            [1], with data type int32, int64, float32, float64.
        step(float|int|Tensor): Spacing between values. For any out, it is
            the istance between two adjacent values, out[i+1] - out[i]. If
            ``step`` is a Tensor, it is a 1-D Tensor with shape [1], with data
            type int32, int64, float32, float64.
        dtype(str|np.dtype|core.VarDesc.VarType, optional): The data type of the
            output tensor. Supported data types: int32, int64, float32, float64.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no
            need for user to set this property. For more information, please
