Trouble Converting Method that Returns String into Invocable Method

This is my second post trying to figure this out. I have a method of the return type string with one integer Parameter. It is my first Apex class so I want to make it invocable so that if something goes wrong with it I can just deactivate the flow. 

However I can't wrap my head around the invocable method annotation, specifically turning everything in my method into some kind of list. Can anyone explain how I might do this?
  
//@InvocableMethod(label='Write Number' description='Writes the Number' category='Opportunity')
public static String writeNumber(Integer Amt) {
                Integer Amount=Amt;
                Integer Len;
                String spelledAmount;
                
                Map<Integer, String> numberName=new Map<Integer, String> { }; 
                
            String amountString=String.valueOf(Amount);
            Len=amountString.Length();
                
          List<Integer> arrayNumber=new List<Integer>();  
            String[] chars=amountString.split('');
            for(String c:chars) {
                    arrayNumber.add(Integer.valueOf(c));        
            }

           Switch on Len { }

//Body of method

return spelledAmount;

}

Hello,
Method processing logic has to be changed to bulk.

Try something like this : 

@InvocableMethod(label='Write Number' description='Writes the Number' category='Opportunity')
public static List<String> writeNumber(List<Integer> Amts) {
  List<String> spelledAmounList = new List<String>();

for(integer Amt : amts){                      //Process input in loop
Integer Amount=Amt;
Integer Len;
String spelledAmount;
Map<Integer, String> numberName=new Map<Integer, String> { };
String amountString=String.valueOf(Amount);
Len=amountString.Length();
List<Integer> arrayNumber=new List<Integer>();
String[] chars=amountString.split('');
for(String c:chars) {
arrayNumber.add(Integer.valueOf(c));

spelledAmounList.add(spelledAmount);      //Add individual items to  return List
}

Switch on Len { } //Body of method
}

return spelledAmounList ;
}


Not sure what logic goes into loop, it can be optimized for bulk processing.

Thanks
