Reusing variables with scoping

Until now, we have looked at the architecture of TensorFlow and the essentials required to implement a basic TensorFlow client. However, there is much more to TensorFlow than this. As we already saw, TensorFlow behaves quite differently from a typical Python script. For example, you cannot debug TensorFlow code in real time (as you would do a simple Python script using a Python IDE), as the computations do not happen in real time in TensorFlow (unless you are using the Eager Execution method, which was only recently in TensorFlow 1.7: https://research.googleblog.com/2017/10/eager-execution-imperative-define-by.html). In other words, TensorFlow first defines the full computational graph, does all computations on a device, and finally fetches results. Consequently, it can be quite tedious and painful to debug a TensorFlow client. This emphasizes the importance of attention to detail when implementing a TensorFlow client. Therefore, it is advised to adhere to...
