Every now and again I find myself writing a sentence like this:
INPUT in LPINPUT is some data structure I can identify — what does LP mean, array?
I don't know what to call this type of sentence but the general format is that I ask a question and then list one or more possible answers.
Now in the quote above I used a comma to separate the original question and my supposed answer but would it not be correct to use two question marks? Like so:
INPUT in LPINPUT is some data structure I can identify — what does LP mean?
array?
Because the way I see it, I'm asking two questions.

Asking two questions in the same sentence can be hard to understand. Try using more sentences instead.
