    :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):
    """
    This operator 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 .

    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``.
