The first one reads from standard input (the ARM doesn't explicitly say
this), and leaves standard input positioned after the last character of
the float number read.

The second one reads from the string From, and Last contains "the index
value such that From(Last) is the last character read" (not sure if
that's the last character of the number, or one past it, I'd have to
experiment).

So which do you want?
