   No.  But that is a good question.
   If-then-elif...-else would be a FUNCTIONAL
   simulation.  That is you are simulating what the mux
   does but not HOW it does it.  For a gate level
   simulation, you need to implement the mux in terms of
   AND, NOT, OR, XOR and then write code like
   Fulladder.c
   
   The implementation of a two way mux in terms of AND
   OR NOT is figure B.4 on page B-9 of the text.  You
   need to do a 3 way mux.
