I just wanted to double check that I'm understanding this right from the book, but is a multi-way gate essentially still just a multi-bit gate except only the input has the n-bit wide bus while the output has just one output bit, and the basic goal with making multi-way gates is to perform the same basic boolean operation on n-bits but still end up with a single-bit output for the array of n-bits? So then when it's expanded to a more complex chip like the Mux4Way16, there would be a total of 64 input bits spread across 4 16-bit buses, 2 selector bits, and a single 16-bit output bus?
