What is this called: ($myvar->{otherid}) ? 'stringA' : 'stringB';

[Jeff Kowalczyk]

I'm not yet able to read certain parts of perl code. What is this
comparison/alternation after the hash lookup on 'otherid' called, and what
does the code do?

$myvar->{id} = ($myvar->{otherid}) ? 'stringA' : 'stringB';

Thanks.
