FromDigits

FromDigits[list] constructs an integer from the list of its decimal digits.

FromDigits[list, b] takes the digits to be given in base b.

Example: FromDigits[3,7,4] .

FromDigits is effectively the inverse of IntegerDigits.

FromDigits[list, n, b] takes n to be an exponent, while FromDigits[list, rep, n, b] takes rep to be repeated, so that FromDigits can also be used as the inverse of RealDigits.

Since IntegerDigits[n] discards the sign of n, FromDigits[IntegerDigits[n]] is Abs[n] not just n.

The digits in list and the base b need not be positive integers, and can be any expression.

If Indeterminate appears in list, it is assumed to signify unknown digits beyond the precision of an approximate real number.
