Rectified linear unit: max(0, input). The module form of [`ClikaRT::ops::relu`](../ops/relu.md#relu), which documents the full contract (shapes, dtypes, errors); construct once, then call it like a function.

## Member functions

### ReLU() {#ReLU}

<div class="api-signature">

`explicit` **`ReLU`**([`ReLUOptions`](./ReLUOptions.md) `options` `=` `{}`)

</div>

Constructs the module from [`options`](./ReLU.md#options) (every default when omitted).

<div class="api-declared">

Declared in `ClikaRT/nn/generated/activation.h`, line 56

</div>

### forward() {#forward}

<div class="api-signature">

[`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) **`forward`**([`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) `input`) `const`

</div>

[`forward_impl`](./ReLU.md#forward), unwrapped: raises [`ClikaRT::Error`](../Error.md) on failure.

<div class="api-declared">

Declared in `ClikaRT/nn/generated/activation.h`, line 72

</div>

### operator()() {#operator-call}

<div class="api-signature">

[`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) **`operator()`**([`Tensor`](../Tensor.md) `input`) `const`

</div>

Same as [`forward`](./ReLU.md#forward).
