class Module:
"""
Base class for all neural network modules.
Provides automatic parameter collection, forward pass management,
and clean composition patterns. All layers (Dense, Conv2d, etc.)
inherit from this class.
Key Features:
- Automatic parameter registration when you assign Tensors with requires_grad=True
- Recursive parameter collection from sub-modules
- Clean __call__ interface: model(x) instead of model.forward(x)
- Extensible for custom layers
Example Usage:
class MLP(Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.layer1 = Dense(784, 128) # Auto-registered!
self.layer2 = Dense(128, 10) # Auto-registered!

x = self.layer1(x)
return self.layer2(x)
model = MLP()
params = model.parameters() # Gets all parameters automatically!
output = model(input) # Clean interface!

def matmul(a: Tensor, b: Tensor) -> Tensor:
"""
Matrix multiplication for tensors using explicit loops.
This implementation uses triple-nested loops for educational understanding
of the fundamental operations. Module 15 will show the optimization progression
from loops → blocking → vectorized operations.
Args:
a: Left tensor (shape: ..., m, k)
b: Right tensor (shape: ..., k, n)
Returns:
Result tensor (shape: ..., m, n)
TODO: Implement matrix multiplication using explicit loops.
STEP-BY-STEP IMPLEMENTATION:
1. Extract numpy arrays from both tensors using .data
2. Check tensor shapes for compatibility
3. Use triple-nested loops to show every operation
4. Wrap result in a new Tensor and return
LEARNING CONNECTIONS:
- This is the core operation in Dense layers: output = input @ weights
- Shows the fundamental computation before optimization
- Module 15 will demonstrate the progression to high-performance implementations
- Understanding loops helps appreciate vectorization and GPU parallelization
EDUCATIONAL APPROACH:
- Intentionally simple for understanding, not performance
- Makes every multiply-add operation explicit
- Sets up Module 15 to show optimization techniques
EXAMPLE:
```python
a = Tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) # shape (2, 2)
b = Tensor([[5, 6], [7, 8]]) # shape (2, 2)
result = matmul(a, b)
# result.data = [[19, 22], [43, 50]]
```
IMPLEMENTATION HINTS:
- Use explicit loops to show every operation
- This is educational, not optimized for performance
- Module 15 will show the progression to fast implementations
