    Args:
        x (Variable): An input variable.
        min (Variable): A min variable by which `x` is clipped. Note that the shape of `min` must be the same as `x`'s.
        max (Variable): A max variable by which `x` is clipped. Note that the shape of `max` must be the same as `x`'s

    Returns:
        ~nnabla.Variable: N-D array.
