If I understand this cryptic error message correctly, the
problem is missing or inadequate input. There is no floating
point number to be parsed and hence the string "" is parsed
unsuccessfully which leads to an exception producing this
horrible error message. I would suggest to fix the program
quickly, maybe by using a string that is not given at runtime
through stdin, but as a fixed string like "Pi is approximately
3.14159265."
It's not because input is empty, but rather that across-web
compiling is highly broken and problematic. There is an "Input"
button bottom of the code area which shows what input will be
given to stdin, which is actually not empty (it's written: "2.4
plus 2.4 equals 5 for sufficiently large values of 2.")
Maybe one day someone will take care of improving the
infrastructure...
