syntax - Internal Representation of ?name and ??name

Code

FullForm[Hold[?name]]

Syntax::bktmcp: Expression "Hold[?name]]" has no closing "]".

Syntax::sntxi: Incomplete expression; more input is needed .

Question

This is exercise 3.2 (page 47) of Power Programming w/ Mathematica

The task is:

"determine the internal representation of the expressions ?name and ??name"

The above is what I tried. It failed. How do I win?

Answer

To programmatically find the internal representation of the shortforms, you can use MakeExpression, which gives the result wrapped in HoldComplete. Here's an example:

MakeExpression@"?name"
(* HoldComplete[Information["name", LongForm -> False]] *)

MakeExpression@"??name"

(* HoldComplete[Information["name", LongForm -> True]] *)
