What do these lines of code do?

I am working on modifying a plugin for wordpress to better suit my needs, and I need to know exactly what this code does:

if ( $single_download['uniqueid'] == null )
    $link[] = array( "url" => site_url( "?downloadid=" . $single_download['id'] ), "name" => $file_name );
else
    $link[] = array( "url" => site_url( "?downloadid=" . $single_download['uniqueid'] ), "name" => $file_name );

If you would need more than just this code here, could you please just explain what it is doing as far as you can tell by the scope of the code I have provided. I am assuming it is combining the different items but I am nut sure.

Edit: Sorry I should have clarified I realize what the if statement is doing, I need to know what the other line of code does.

This is a statement populates an array ($link) with values based on the result of a test.

If the value of $single_download['uniqueid'] is null, the value of $single_download['id'] is appended to a URL. If $single_download['uniqueid'] is not null, its value is appended to the URL.

In both cases, the resultant value of the URL is inserted into the array.

It seems to check for a uniqueid in $single_download and if it doesn't find it, it uses the "ID" instead of "UNIQUEID"

Thats all

It's just building the link array item based on whether there's a uniqueid or not.

I'm not familiar with the plugin, but the $link array apparently holds the url to download a file. If the $single_download array has a uniqueid key that is not null, then it uses that as the download id. Otherwise, it uses the value in the id key.

I'm assuming it creates a clickable link with the url as the source of the href and name is the text that is clickable.

the code is constructing an array using one of two possible locations in the "single_download" variable to use for the download id
