I've seen the data types in the NumPy package of Python, but I found the description of the data type 'intp' a bit confusing. Its description is like:
- intp: Integer used for indexing (same as C ssize_t; normally either int32 or int64)
Why is the word indexing used here if it is same as the ssize_t of C, as ssize_t is used to store the size of a variable?
