Plain-language reading

An address can have only one third line. The statement ends with a period and does not say shall. It is 40 characters. The flag is fatal. The context starts with // and names a postal address or an address. The published test allows no address line or exactly one. It writes = 1 and does not use <=.

Send at most one address line on an address.
