    Compute scaled dot-product attention.

    This is the fundamental attention operation that powers all transformer models.
    We'll implement it with explicit loops first to show the O(n²) complexity.

    TODO: Implement scaled dot-product attention step by step

    APPROACH:
    1. Extract dimensions and validate inputs
    2. Compute attention scores with explicit nested loops (show O(n²) complexity)
    3. Scale by 1/√d_k for numerical stability
    4. Apply causal mask if provided (set masked positions to -inf)
    5. Apply softmax to get attention weights
    6. Apply values with attention weights (another O(n²) operation)
    7. Return output and attention weights

    Args:
        Q: Query tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
        K: Key tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
        V: Value tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
        mask: Optional causal mask, True=allow, False=mask (batch_size, seq_len, seq_len)

    Returns:
        output: Attended values (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
        attention_weights: Attention matrix (batch_size, seq_len, seq_len)

    EXAMPLE:
    >>> Q = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64))  # batch=2, seq=4, dim=64
    >>> K = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64))
    >>> V = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64))
    >>> output, weights = scaled_dot_product_attention(Q, K, V)
    >>> print(output.shape)  # (2, 4, 64)
    >>> print(weights.shape)  # (2, 4, 4)
    >>> print(weights.data[0].sum(axis=1))  # Each row sums to ~1.0

    HINTS:
    - Use explicit nested loops to compute Q[i] @ K[j] for educational purposes
    - Scale factor is 1/√d_k where d_k is the last dimension of Q
    - Masked positions should be set to -1e9 before softmax
    - Remember that softmax normalizes along the last dimension
    """
    ### BEGIN SOLUTION
    # Step 1: Extract dimensions and validate
    # Note: Q, K, V can be 3D (batch, seq, dim) or 4D (batch, heads, seq, dim)
    # We use shape[-1] for d_model to handle both cases
    d_model = Q.shape[-1]
    
    # Step 2: Compute attention scores using matrix multiplication
    # Q: (..., seq_len, d_model)
    # K: (..., seq_len, d_model) -> K.T: (..., d_model, seq_len)
    # scores = Q @ K.T -> (..., seq_len, seq_len)
    
    # Transpose K for matrix multiplication
    # For 3D/4D tensors, transpose swaps the last two dimensions
    K_t = K.transpose(-2, -1)
    
    scores = Q.matmul(K_t)

    # Step 3: Scale by 1/√d_k for numerical stability
    scale_factor = 1.0 / math.sqrt(d_model)
    scores = scores * scale_factor

    # Step 4: Apply causal mask if provided
    if mask is not None:
        # Mask values of 0 indicate positions to mask out (set to -inf)
        # We use (1 - mask) * MASK_VALUE to add large negative values to masked positions
        # mask is expected to be 0 for masked, 1 for unmasked
        
        # Ensure mask is broadcastable
        mask_data = mask.data
        adder_mask = (1.0 - mask_data) * MASK_VALUE
        adder_mask_tensor = Tensor(adder_mask, requires_grad=False)
        scores = scores + adder_mask_tensor

    # Step 5: Apply softmax to get attention weights
    softmax = Softmax()
    attention_weights = softmax(scores, dim=-1)

    # Step 6: Apply values with attention weights
    # weights: (..., seq_len, seq_len)
    # V: (..., seq_len, d_model)
    # output = weights @ V -> (..., seq_len, d_model)
    output = attention_weights.matmul(V)

    # ------------------------------------------------------------------
    # PEDAGOGICAL NOTE: Explicit Loop Implementation
    # ------------------------------------------------------------------
    # The following commented-out code shows how attention works conceptually
    # using explicit loops. While easier to understand, this approach is
    # NOT used here because:
    # 1. It is extremely slow (Python loops vs optimized C/BLAS)
    # 2. It breaks the autograd graph unless we manually implement the backward pass
    #
    # Conceptually, this is what the vectorized code above is doing:
    #
    # batch_size, n_heads, seq_len, d_k = Q.shape
    # scores = Tensor(np.zeros((batch_size, n_heads, seq_len, seq_len)), requires_grad=True)
    # 
    # for b in range(batch_size):
    #     for h in range(n_heads):
    #         for i in range(seq_len):
    #             for j in range(seq_len):
    #                 # Dot product of query i and key j
    #                 dot_product = 0.0
    #                 for k in range(d_k):
    #                     dot_product += Q.data[b, h, i, k] * K.data[b, h, j, k]
    #                 
    #                 # Scale and store
    #                 scores.data[b, h, i, j] = dot_product / math.sqrt(d_k)
    #
    # # ... apply mask ...
    # # ... apply softmax ...
    #
    # output = Tensor(np.zeros((batch_size, n_heads, seq_len, d_k)), requires_grad=True)
    # for b in range(batch_size):
    #     for h in range(n_heads):
    #         for i in range(seq_len):
    #             for k in range(d_k):
    #                 # Weighted sum of values
    #                 weighted_sum = 0.0
    #                 for j in range(seq_len):
    #                     weighted_sum += attention_weights.data[b, h, i, j] * V.data[b, h, j, k]
