I think they're trying to teach you how to handle invalid input. You don't want your *strong deep voice* huge immensely powerful super program *end strong deep voice* that you worked on for months and cost the company thousands or millions of dollars (heh, millions..right..) to crash because of a simple invalid input (scenario for when you are working for a major corporation or something). Its just a simple check to make sure the input is valid so your program can function correctly later on.
