    Constructs a ``paddle.Tensor`` or ``paddle.ComplexTensor`` from ``data`` , 
    which can be scalar, tuple, list, numpy\.ndarray, paddle\.Tensor, paddle\.ComplexTensor.

    will be performed and return origin tensor, otherwise a new tensor will be constructed

    The ``ComplexTensor`` is a unique type of paddle. If x is ``ComplexTensor``, then 
    ``x.real`` is the real part, and ``x.imag`` is the imaginary part.

    Args:
        data(scalar|tuple|list|ndarray|Tensor|ComplexTensor): Initial data for the tensor.
            Can be a scalar, list, tuple, numpy\.ndarray, paddle\.Tensor, paddle\.ComplexTensor.
71
        dtype(str|np.dtype, optional): The desired data type of returned tensor. Can be 'bool' , 'float16' , 
72
            'float32' , 'float64' , 'int8' , 'int16' , 'int32' , 'int64' , 'uint8'. And
73 74
            'complex64' , 'complex128' only for ComplexTensor. Default: None, infers dtype from ``data`` 
            except for python float number which gets dtype from ``get_default_type`` .
75 76 77 78 79
        place(CPUPlace|CUDAPinnedPlace|CUDAPlace, optional): The place to allocate Tensor. Can be  
            CPUPlace, CUDAPinnedPlace, CUDAPlace. Default: None, means global place.
        stop_gradient(bool, optional): Whether to block the gradient propagation of Autograd. Default: True.

    Returns:
80
        Tensor: A Tensor or ComplexTensor constructed from ``data`` .
81 82 83 84 85

    Raises:
        TypeError: If the data type of ``data`` is not scalar, list, tuple, numpy.ndarray, paddle.Tensor, paddle.ComplexTensor
        ValueError: If ``data`` is tuple|list, it can't contain nested tuple|list with different lengths , such as: [[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]]
        TypeError: If ``dtype`` is not bool, float16, float32, float64, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, complex64, complex128

        diagonal (int, optional): The diagonal to consider, default value is 0.
            If :attr:`diagonal` = 0, all elements on and above the main diagonal are
            retained. A positive value excludes just as many diagonals above the main
            diagonal, and similarly a negative value includes just as many diagonals below
            the main diagonal. The main diagonal are the set of indices
            :math:`\{(i, i)\}` for :math:`i \in [0, \min\{d_{1}, d_{2}\} - 1]` where
            :math:`d_{1}, d_{2}` are the dimensions of the matrix.

    The OP copies the :attr:`x` to the :attr:`output`.
 
    Parameters:
        x (Tensor|numpy.ndarray): A tensor or numpy ndarray, its data type supports
            float16, float32, float64, int32 and int64.
        output (Tensor, optional): A tensor. If :attr:`output` is None, a new tensor will
            be created as :attr:`output`. Default: None.
 
    Returns:
        Tensor: A tensor with the same shape, data type and value as :attr:`x`.
