From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

s = "  Hello, Qu World!  "
trimmed = trim(s)
parts = split(trimmed, ", ")
print(parts)                  # ["Hello", "Qu World!"]

print(upper(parts[0]))        # HELLO

print(starts_with(trimmed, "Hello"))  # true

print("hello".substr(0, 2).replace("e", "i").flip().flip())
print("hi world".split(" ").join(", ") + "!")

output

("Hello", "Qu World!")
HELLO
true
hi
hi, world!
