Because you are multiplying the p's and q's every time you change one...if you change q1, you also multiply 2 and 3...even if they are empty..
Do you understand the problem? why and where it is generated?
Unfortunately, no
When you modify "q1" (and q2 / q3 are empty):
you call to the procedure "computSum", where you are also multiplying q2 and q3, which are empty:
that is the error...
the same occurs when you change q2 (and q3 is empty).
But shouldn't they be empty, so that the customer can place the quantity he wants?
So add appropriate protection in the form of conditions so that multiplication does not occur when the text box is empty.
Yes...the error is not the empty fields...the error is to try to multiply an empty tag...like Patryk says protect those operations to be executed only if there is a value.
What does protection mean in this case, I make some changes to the blocks and the problem persists
This is also called data validation
Before doing a multiplication you have to check, if both values are not empty
If is empty a
Then display 'please provide a value for a'
Else if is empty b
Then display 'please provide a value for b'
Else do the calculation

How would you multiply p1 x q1, only if both fields are not empty? Write it here in natural language.
(well, Taifun has done it before...)
Try to "write" it with the blocks.
How do you write this with blocks?
"If is empty a"
