**Get length of text**: Returns the length of the text string (number of characters).

**Get Count of words in text**: Returns the number of words in a text string.

**Replace phrase in text**: Replaces a specific phrase in the text with another string.

**Reverse the text**: Reverses the order of characters in the text.

**Split text**: Splits the text based on a specified delimiter (e.g., a space or comma).

And set the MathOperator to your chosen method:

- Add - Adds first Number to second Number
- Subtract- Subtracts first Number from second Number
- Divide: Divides first Number to second Number and returns the integer part
- Modulo: Divides first Number to second Number and returns the remainder
- Multiply: Multiplies first Number with second Number
