Let $[ x ]$ denote the greatest integer $\leq x$, where $x \in R$. If the domain of the real valued function $f ( x ) = \sqrt { \frac { | [ x ] | - 2 } { | [ x ] | - 3 } }$ is $( - \infty , a ) \cup [ b , c ) \cup [ 4 , \infty ) , a < b < c$, then the value of $a + b + c$ is:\\
(1) 8\\
(2) 1\\
(3) $- 2$\\
(4) $- 3$
