diff in PyTorch

#python #pytorch #diff #difference

diff() can get the 1D or more D tensor of the zero or more elements of difference from the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

diff() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int, float, complex or bool).
The 2nd argument with torch or the 3rd argument is n(Optional-Default:1-Type:int). *This can get the difference of the difference of diff...
The 3rd argument with torch or the 4th argument is dim(Optional-Default:-1-Type:int).
The 4th argument with torch or the 5th argument is prepend(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor of int, float, complex or bool). *A tensor is added before input tensor.
The 5th argument with torch or the 6th argument is append(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor of int, float, complex or bool). *A tensor is added after input tensor.
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
