The Apple's document has said that:

NSRangeException

Name of an exception that occurs when attempting to access outside the bounds of some data, such as beyond the end of a string.

Specific in your case, one of the three array (or possibly all of them) titarr, sumarr, addarr is empty array and you're trying to access at index of an empty array => NSRangeException

To solve this problem, you can:

Check if the array is non-empty: 

if !titarr.isEmpty {
    // titarr is non-empty
}

Or, for more safely, check if the index you want to access does not exceed the data limit of the array:

if titarr.count > yourIndex {
    // index is valid
}

However, I prefer direct access to the index and if it is beyond bounds, it will return nil. To do this, refer to the @kkuushkin's answer in the question.

For example, something like this:

let titarr = [1, 2, 3]

// Access the index beyond bounds, value is nil, no NSRangeException
titarr[safe: 5]
