Enlighten me: does it just print the real part of each complex in the array
? Ankit: was that the intent ?

it's ugly because the whole complex number in whatever storage format it's
in gets passed to printf.
In my understanding, this may fail because there is no guaranty about which
part of the structure will be printed and the format specifier may be
incorrect for the actual type thus passed.
