I am a beginner.

Blender started as a fairly "simple" program -- one that took a couple years to create.
Since then it has grown into a very complex program maintained by about a dozen people.

You can check out the source code yourself. (Most of it is very pretty. Some of it is not.)

Generally speaking, it takes a lot of work and years to create anything of value.
Pick something you really, really, really, really want to do, and start coding, and coding, and coding...

I have started coding...

I saw the source code, it is very difficult to comprehend...

Yes, well, programs like Blender are rather math heavy and employ a lot of very sophisticated algorithms that have been heavily optimized. It really isn't beginner material.
