Can t call contract function in Remix in Web3 provider mode but it works in Javascript VM

+1 vote

A simple contract for addition, an error is reported when calling the function add  in Web3 provider mode:

"Gas estimation errored with the following message (see below). The transaction execution will likely fail. Do you want to force sending?

VM Exception while processing transaction: invalid opcode."

But it works fine in JavaScript mode. The contract is as following:

pragma solidity >=0.4.0;

contract Calc

{

function add(uint a,uint b) public payable returns(uint){

return a+b;

}  

}

I found out that if I use the pure modifier and  compile it using the version 0.4.24, it would work.:

pragma solidity >=0.4.0;  

contract Calc

{

function add(uint a,uint b) public view returns(uint){  

return a+b;

}  

}

choose the compiler 0.4.24,  then I can call the function add successfully. Why is that?
