I don't understand why my code isn't working. I have it exactly like the example from the video.

I'm getting an error, and I don't see anything wrong. I'm sure it's something I'm missing, but it works fine in the example.

app.js 
angular.module('foobar', []);
.controller('coolCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.helloWorld = function() {
   console.log("Hello there! This is the helloWorld controller function, in the mainCtrl"); 
  }
};

Do not write semicolon after module:

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