This is a piece of my code.
\newcommand{\number}{2}
\number + 2
Is there any way that a '4' is written instead a '2+2'? (LaTex does the real operation).
Thanks

There are many possibilities to do calculations in latex. Just one option is pgfmath:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\newcommand{\mynumber}{2}
\pgfmathparse{\mynumber+2}
\pgfmathresult
\end{document}
