Why does this code not run

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>mikes test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

/* Program which uses a while loop to display a calendar for a given year */

//Write your code below:

var year= parseFloat(window.prompt('Enter Year',"));

var date = newDate(year, 0);

for (var month = 0; month<12; month = month + 1)

{

date.set Month(month); // update the month

displayMonth(date) // display the calendar for that month

}

</BODY>
</HTML>

Change:- var year= parseFloat(window.prompt('Enter Year', "));

to

var year= parseFloat(window.prompt('Enter Year', ""),10);

What if the user enters something which is not a valid number?

Thanks for your help just want to reassure you it is not homework or an assignment it is an activity within a course book which i am struggling to understand.
