Runtime error means your code crashed. This is because input() reads in an entire line in python, so your code is trying to cast a string with two separate numbers in it into one number. It cannot do this, so your code crashes.

You can do something like w, h = map(int, input().split()), which will take in the two numbers and cast both to integers. In general, when testing programs you should use the copy button on the side of the sample, so that you can be sure you're following the input format.
