tf.placeholder

tf.placeholder(    dtype,    shape=None,    name=None)

Inserts a placeholder for a tensor that will be always fed.

Important: This tensor will produce an error if evaluated. Its value must be fed using the feed_dict optional argument to Session.run(), Tensor.eval(), or Operation.run().

在构建graph的过程中，tensor是没有实际数据的，只是表达计算过程，那么通过placeholder函数对tensor变量进行占位表示。然后在Session执行过程中，通过feed_dict对占位的tensor进行feed值

Args:

• dtype: The type of elements in the tensor to be fed.指定数据类型
• shape: The shape of the tensor to be fed (optional). If the shape is not specified, you can feed a tensor of any shape.指定tensor的维度,如果没有指定，可以feed任意维度的tensor
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A Tensor that may be used as a handle for feeding a value, but not evaluated directly.

Raises:

• RuntimeError: if eager execution is enabled

11   print(sess.run(y, feed_dict={x: rand_array}))  # Will succeed.
