Paddle implements Python custom operators on the PaddlePaddle framework by creating a subclass of
``PyLayer``, which must comply with the following rules:
1. The subclass must contain static ``forward`` and ``backward`` functions, with the first argument being
:ref:`api_paddle_autograd_PyLayerContext`. If a returned value in ``backward`` corresponds to a ``Tensor`` that
requires gradients in ``forward``, the returned value must be a ``Tensor``.
2. Except for the first argument, other arguments of ``backward`` are gradients of the output ``Tensors``
of ``forward``. Therefore, the number of input ``Tensor`` in ``backward`` must be the same as the number
of output ``Tensor`` in ``forward``. If you need to use input ``Tensor`` from ``forward`` in ``backward``,
you can save these ``Tensors`` by inputting them into :ref:`api_paddle_autograd_PyLayerContext`'s
``save_for_backward`` method and use them in ``backward`` later.
3. The output of ``backward`` can be ``Tensor`` or ``list/tuple(Tensor)``, which are gradients of the
output ``Tensor`` of ``forward``. Therefore, the number of output ``Tensor`` in ``backward`` is the same
as the number of input ``Tensor`` in ``forward``.
After building the custom operator, apply it by running the ``apply`` method.

.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import paddle
