When I Adding to [HttpPost] My Code Local Host Does Not Showing Frontend-CodePudding

I'm trying to create a simple calculator but when i adding to [HttpPost] to the controller before IActionResult Calculator, it does not showing any response in browser. Without [HttpPost] i can see frontend part but i can't get any result for result. This is my controller code:

using System.Diagnostics;
using WebApplication1.Models;

namespace WebApplication1.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger;

        public HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(new SimpleCalculatorModels());
        }

        public IActionResult Calculator(SimpleCalculatorModels model, string method)   
        {
            if (method == "addition")
            {
                model.ResultNumber = model.FirstNumber   model.SecondNumber;
            }
            if (method == "substraction")
            {
                model.ResultNumber = model.FirstNumber - model.SecondNumber;
            }
            if (method == "multiplication")
            {
                model.ResultNumber = model.FirstNumber * model.SecondNumber;
            }
            if (method == "division")
            {
                model.ResultNumber = model.FirstNumber / model.SecondNumber;
            }

            return View(model);
        }

    }
}

And this is my View class:


@model WebApplication1.Models.SimpleCalculatorModels
@{

}


<body>
    <h2>SIMPLE CALCULATOR</h2>
    <div class = "border-dark">
       
           <div class = "form-group">

             <input type="text"  id="FirstNumber" name="FirstNumber" value="@Model.FirstNumber"/> 
           </div>

           <div class = "form-group">
             <label for = "SecondNumber">Second Number</label>
             <input type="text"  id="SecondNumber" name="SecondNumber" value="@Model.SecondNumber"/> 
           </div>

             <input type="text"  id="ResultNumber" name="ResultNumber" value="@Model.ResultNumber"/> 
           </div>
