How to create a tensor from another tensor like tf.constant and number?

I want to use the value in a tensor to create another tensor, but I got the following error:

>>> a = tf.constant(3)
>>> a
Out[51]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=3>
>>> tf.constant([a, 2])
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Scalar tensor has no `len()`

How can I use the value in tensor a?

Answer

You can use tf.stack.

import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function
def join_tns_num(tensor, num):
    return tf.stack([tensor, tf.constant(num)], axis=0)

Check function:

>>> join_tns_num(tf.constant(3), 2)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([3, 2], dtype=int32)>
