So ive been looking around the redstone forums, and Ive seen a lot of talk about multiplexers. I finally understand what they are. However what functions are they used in?
Essentially what are the most common uses for (de)multiplexers.
Single-wire transmission uses fewer resources and can be more easily configured to connect to different things. Just connect that one wire to a demultiplexer however you want/need to. It's a lot easier than trying to have direct connections of several wires. It also takes up less space within a system, which is sometimes important.
On the other hand, multiplexing relies on all the (de)multiplexers being standardized. A good example of standardized multiplexers would be (I think) USB ports.

you have two inputs. say you want the option to either add them, subtract them, XOR them, or AND them.
how can you send the input to only one of these four locations? with a demultiplexer
thats pretty much all i know about demultiplexers :l
