How to take list to number?

I have a list such as:



a = {1, 2, 4, 3};


and I want to get the 'number' of the list. For this example, I want to get this number: 1243. I do not know how to get it easily. For now, my solution is:
a[[1]]*10^3+a[[2]]*10^2+a[[3]]*10^1+a[[4]];
It works. But it is too complex. I want to know a way more convenient.

            Other than the built-in FromDigits, we can build our wheel



            Fold[{10, 1}.{##} &, a]

              Best way would be to use build-in function FromDigits as shown above.



              But just in case you'd like a convoluted way to do it, here is another option



              a = {1, 2, 4, 3};
              ToExpression[StringJoin[ToString[#] & /@ a]]

                These are some methods I would not recommend:



                lst = {1, 2, 3, 4};

                f = (Curry[StringRiffle][""] /* ToExpression);

                g = (Through[{
                Identity,
                Length /* Range /* Reverse /* Curry[Plus][-1] /* Curry[Power, 2][10]
                }[#]] & /* MapThread[Times] /* Total);

                f[lst] (* 1234 *)
                g[lst] (* 1234 *)
