Note that we need to iterate over the indices of ``y`` and not over the elements of ``y``. The reason is that scan create a placeholder variable for its internal function and this placeholder variable does not have the same dependencies than the variables that will replace it.
**Scan Example: Accumulate number of loop during a scan**
Note that if you want to use a random variable ``d`` that will not be updated through scan loops, you should pass this variable as a ``non_sequences`` arguments.
**Scan Example: Computing pow(A, k)**
