How to create an Angular Service Method with Callback Log

I am trying to finish up the workshop quiz in Angular. Step 1 create service. Step 2 Create Callback. Step 3 below I am having trouble with completing.

"Create a method named testingMyService on the service that logs the string, "This is my service!" when called. E.g.: myService.testingMyService()"

angular.module('foobar', []) .service('myService',function(callback) { console.log("This is my Service") } );

What am I doing wrong?

Your service bit doesn't look quite right. It should look something like this. Notice the "this.testingMyService" section. Cheers.

angular.module("foobar", []) .service("myService",function(){ this.testingMyService = function(){ console.log("This is my service!"); }; });

angular.module('foobar', []) .service('myService',function(callback) { 
    this.testingMyService = function(){
        console.log("This is my Service");
    }
 } );

So inside your service "myService" you define a new function and add it to "this" which is "myService" your new function is called testingMyService. When you use your service "myService" you can call testingMyService inside it: myService.testingMyService();
