How to have and declare/define array of tuple[ string , seq[ array[2,string] ] ]

Illustration is

  var
    a : seq[tuple[ string , seq[array[ 2, string]] ] ]
    
  a[0] = [ "foo", [ ["hello", "foo"], ["foo", "bar" ] ] ]
  a[1] = [ "bar", [ ["hello", "world"], ["hello", bar"] ] ]
  a[2] = [ "hello", [ ["foo","bar"], ["hello","world"], ["bar", "baz"] ] ]
    .
    .
    .
  a[n] =

Tried rather long in this variations, e.g.

a = newSeqOfCap[ (string, newSeqOfCap[ array[ 2, string]](40) ) ](9)

all just end with no avail
Please guide the correct way. Thanks in advance for sincere help

You need to use newSeq, not newSeqOfCap. The latter only allocates the space for the sequence, not actually put anything in there for you to modify.

var a = newSeq[(string, seq[array[2, string]])](n)

a[0] = ("foo", @[["hello", "foo"], ["foo", "bar"]])
a[1] = ("bar", @[["hello", "world"], ["hello", "bar"]])
a[2] = ("hello", @[["foo", "bar"], ["hello", "world"], ["bar", "baz"]])
.
.
.
a[n] = ...
