JavaScript AngularJS Basics (1.x) Controllers and Scope Creating a Controller

Getting the following error: angular.js:12416Error: [$parse:syntax] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.5/$parse/syntax?p0=%

from the angular.js file:
if (hasApply) { return function() { var args = []; forEach(arguments, function(arg) { args.push(formatError(arg)); }); return logFn.apply(console, args); }; } error is showing on the last line of text.

I've gone over my code, shown below, and I don't think that's the problem

// javascript - app.js// angular.module("todoListApp", []) .controller("mainCtrl", function($scope) { $scope.helloWorld = function() { console.log("Hello there! There is the helloWorld controller function, in the mainCtrl"); }; });

//html - index.html //

<!doctype html> <html lang="en">

<head> <title></title> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link href='styles/main.css' rel='stylesheet' type="text/css"> </head>

<body ng-app="todoListApp"> <h1>My ToDos</h1> <div ng-controller="mainCtrl" class="list"> <input type="checkbox" /> <lable class="editing-lable">A Sample To Do</lable> <input type="text" class="editing-lable" /> <div class="actions"> <a href="">edit</a> <a href="" ng-click="<helloWorld()">save</a> <a href="" class="delete">delete</a> </div> </div>

<script src="vendor/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</body>

</html>

Any ideas?

Just to clean it up.

Angularjs

if (hasApply) {
    return function() {
        var args = [];
        forEach(arguments, function(arg) {
            args.push(formatError(arg));
        });
        return logFn.apply(console, args);
    };
}

app.js

angular.module("todoListApp", []).controller("mainCtrl", function($scope) {
    $scope.helloWorld = function() {
        console.log(
            "Hello there! There is the helloWorld controller function, in the mainCtrl"
        );
    };
});

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link href='styles/main.css' rel='stylesheet' type="text/css">
</head>
<body ng-app="todoListApp">
    <h1>My ToDos</h1>
    <div class="list">
        <input type="checkbox"> A Sample To Do <input class="editing-lable" type="text">
        <div class="actions">
            <a href="">edit</a>
            <a href="">save</a>
            <a class="delete" href="">delete</a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script src="vendor/angular.js" type="text/javascript">
    </script> 
    <script src="scripts/app.js" type="text/javascript">
    </script>
</body>
</html>

<a href="" ng-click="<helloWorld()">save</a>

There is a < inside the ng-click attr.

Also, how did you re-post the code in those nice boxes? When I posted my question I did not see how to do that.

You can do multiple code boxes you can see the markdown cheatsheet. The way you do it is with three backticks (`) followed by html, js, css or other codes then closed by another three back ticks.

```[type of code]


`.`` Without the .


<!--  Like so -->

```html


`.``
