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...
