mindspore.ops.flatten

mindspore.ops.flatten(input, order='C', *, start_dim=1, end_dim=- 1)

Flatten a tensor along dimensions from start_dim to start_dim.

Parameters

• input (Tensor) – The input Tensor.

• order (str, optional) – Only ‘C’ and ‘F’ are supported. ‘C’ means to flatten in row-major (C-style) order. ‘F’ means to flatten in column-major (Fortran-style) order. Default: ‘C’.

Keyword Arguments

• start_dim (int, optional) – The first dimension to flatten. Default: 1.

• end_dim (int, optional) – The last dimension to flatten. Default: -1.

Returns

Tensor. If no dimensions are flattened, returns the original input, otherwise return the flattened Tensor. If input is a 0-dimensional Tensor, a 1-dimensional Tensor will be returned.

Raises

• TypeError – If input is not a Tensor.

• TypeError – If order is not string type.

• ValueError – If order is string type, but not ‘C’ or ‘F’.

• TypeError – If start_dim or end_dim is not int.

• ValueError – If start_dim is greater than end_dim after canonicalized.

• ValueError – If start_dim or end_dim is not in range of [-input.dim, input.dim-1].

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU CPU

Examples

>>> input_x = Tensor(np.ones(shape=[1, 2, 3, 4]), mindspore.float32)
