Holds state in the form of a tensor that persists across steps.
Outputs a ref to the tensor state so it may be read or modified. TODO(zhifengc/mrry): Adds a pointer to a more detail document about sharing states in tensorflow.

Inherited Methods
Constants
public static final String OP_NAME
The name of this op, as known by TensorFlow core engine
Public Methods
public Output<T> asOutput ()
Returns the symbolic handle of the tensor.
Inputs to TensorFlow operations are outputs of another TensorFlow operation. This method is used to obtain a symbolic handle that represents the computation of the input.
public static Variable.Options container (String container)
Parameters
| container | If non-empty, this variable is placed in the given container. Otherwise, a default container is used. |
|---|
public static Variable<T> create (Scope scope, Shape shape, Class<T> dtype, Options... options)
Factory method to create a class wrapping a new Variable operation.
Parameters
| scope | current scope |
|---|---|
| shape | The shape of the variable tensor. |
| dtype | The type of elements in the variable tensor. |
| options | carries optional attributes values |
Returns
- a new instance of Variable
public static Variable.Options sharedName (String sharedName)
Parameters
| sharedName | If non-empty, this variable is named in the given bucket with this shared_name. Otherwise, the node name is used instead. |
