you should get your students into good programming habits right away.
Here you are taking data from outside the program's own control, and in
the current terminology that data is "tainted" until you validate it -
there should be a check that you got back a number in the range that you
specify. Yes in this simple example you don't do anything with the
guess that could be harmful, but they should still be learning to keep
such considerations in mind.
