cirq.flatten_with_sweep

Creates a copy of val with any symbols or expressions replaced with new symbols.

cirq.flatten_with_sweep(
    val: Any, sweep: Union[sweeps.Sweep, List[resolver.ParamResolver]]
) -> Tuple[Any, cirq.Sweep]

val can be a Circuit, Gate, Operation, or other type. Also transforms a sweep over the symbols in val to a sweep over the new symbols.

flatten_with_sweep goes through every parameter in val and does the following:

If the parameter is a number, don't change it.
If the parameter is a symbol, don't change it and use the same symbol with the same values in the new sweep.
If the parameter is an expression, replace it with a symbol and use the new symbol with the evaluated value of the expression in the new sweep. The new symbol will be sympy.Symbol('<x + 1>') if the expression was sympy.Symbol('x') + 1. In the unlikely case that an expression with a different meaning also has the string 'x + 1', a number is appended to the name to avoid collision: sympy.Symbol('<x + 1>_1').

Args
`val`	The value to copy and substitute parameter expressions with flattened symbols.
`sweep`	A sweep over parameters used by `val`.

Returns
The tuple (new value, new sweep) where new value is `val` with flattened expressions and new sweep is the equivalent sweep over it.
