Callback is not defined

This is my code. When I run, it shows an error "callback is not defined" ```angular.module("todoListApp", []) .controller('mainCtrl', function ($scope, dataService) {

    $scope.learningNgChange = function () {
        console.log("An input changed");
    };
    $scope.helloConsole = dataService.helloConsole;
    dataService.getTodos(function (response) {
        console.log(response.data);
        $scope.todos=response.data;
    });
})
.service('dataService', function ($http) {
    this.helloConsole = function () {
        console.log("This is hello servie")
    };
    this.getTodos = function () {
        $http.get('mock/todos.json')
    .then(callback)
    }
});

The last line of code is: .then(callback), but there is no function named "callback" in this module. Did you forget to include another module where it is defined? Or is that just a placeholder name, and you forgot to replace it with a (possibly anonymous) function to serve as a callback?

Thanks Steven! I forget to name the function. It works, if I change it to:

this.getTodos = function (callback)
