I have been with this for several days to see if you can help me. I need to take the data of the variable $result, which is 6, from the operation function to my shortcode, how can I do this?

operation();

function operation(){
$result=5+1;
return $result;
}


function my_function($result){ //
return  $all=$result+5;
}
add_shortcode( 'my-shortcode', 'my_function' );

Not sure what you would need this for but this is how you take the data of the variable $result from the operation function to your shortcode:

operation();

function operation(){
$result=5+1;
return $result;
}

function my_function(){
$result = operation();
return (string)$result;
}
add_shortcode( 'my-shortcode', 'my_function' );

Do you mean something like this?

function some_function( $a ) {
    return $a * 2;
}
function my_shortcode( $atts ) {
    $params = shortcode_atts( array(
        'value' => 0
    ), $atts );
    return (string)some_function( $params['value'] );
}
add_shortcode( 'my-shortcode', 'my_shortcode' );

When you use [my-shortcode value=2] on your page, it would be substituted with the result of some_function(2) (i.e. 4).
