    // mlx is row-major by default so the first row of this array
    // is [1.0, 2.0] and the second row is [3.0, 4.0]

    // Make an array of shape {2, 2} filled with ones:
    let y = Array::ones::<f32>(&[2, 2]).unwrap();

    // Pointwise add x and y:
    let z = x.add(&y);

    // Same thing:
    let mut z = &x + &y;

    // mlx is lazy by default. At this point `z` only
    // has a shape and a type but no actual data:
    assert_eq!(z.dtype(), Dtype::Float32);
    assert_eq!(z.shape(), vec![2, 2]);

    // To actually run the computation you must evaluate `z`.
    // Under the hood, mlx records operations in a graph.
    // The variable `z` is a node in the graph which points to its operation
    // and inputs. When `eval` is called on an array (or arrays), the array and
    // all of its dependencies are recursively evaluated to produce the result.
    // Once an array is evaluated, it has data and is detached from its inputs.
    z.eval().unwrap();

    // Of course the array can still be an input to other operations. You can even
    // call eval on the array again, this will just be a no-op:
    z.eval().unwrap(); // no-op

    // Some functions or methods on arrays implicitly evaluate them. For example
    // accessing a value in an array or printing the array implicitly evaluate it:
    z = Array::ones::<f32>(&[1]).unwrap();
    z.item_exact::<f32>(); // implicit evaluation

    z = Array::ones::<f32>(&[2, 2]).unwrap();
    println!("{z}"); // implicit evaluation
