All the codes you write in F Sharp are by default in a MODULE, regardless of the fact that whether you explicitly define a module or not.

Anonymous Module

Anonymous module has the same name as of file name with first letter in upper case.

Let us say,

1. you are writing codes inside a file called myfile.fs
2. You have explicitly not given a module name.
3. Inside the file myfile.fs, you have code as below

4. By default module for above code would be Myfile (same as the file name of the code with first letter in upper case)

Creating Module

Explicitly Module name can be given by using the keyword “Module” .

Now if you want to access variable myNumber in some other module then you will access as below,
