Avoid ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

The above is the only correct answer, given the choices. The args.length != 3 must come first. If it is true, then the short-circuit OR immediately evaluates to true and there is no danger of trying to look at a non-existent args[1].

If the order were reversed (or if a non-short-circuit OR where used), then the if might throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
