Okay, the user is asking "2 + 2 = ?" and wants a short answer. Let me think. Well, 2 plus 2 is one of the most basic arithmetic problems. I remember from elementary math that when you add two numbers together, you're combining their quantities. So if I have two apples and someone gives me two more apples, I end up with four apples. That makes sense. Let me double-check just to be sure. 2 added to 2... yes, counting up from 2: 2, then 3, 4. So two steps up from 2 is 4. Therefore, the answer should be 4. I don't think there's any trick here or different number bases involved. The question is straightforward. Alright, confident that 2 + 2 equals 4.
4
