Microsoft forms validation (restrictions)

Question

I am using MS Forms for purpose of  creating one specific survey. In that survey I need to validate input response of text type question against simple function, similar to Excel, e.g. Iseven(input response) or mod(input response, 2)=0 or len(input response)=5. In Execl, all the above simple formulas in addition to more complicated ones are possible, but in Forms, even these simple ones are not possible. The only available validations (restrictions) are for number formatting. 

My question, is there a way to make these simple formula validations in Forms?

If anybody has an idea, does the advanced Forms Pro version have such validation capabilities?

Appreciate all your inputs
