combinational
Mixing parts together
Combinational describes something involving or relating to combinations—arrangements or selections of elements.
In digital electronics, a combinational circuit or combinational logic produces outputs based solely on current inputs, with no memory of previous states: A multiplexer is a combinational device.
The term contrasts with sequential, where past inputs affect present outputs.
