Hi Hamed,

There are a few ways to define a controller in Angular, but I believe the challenge would like it defined this way:

var myApp = angular.module("foobar", []);

myApp.controller('coolCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
}]);

thx Paul,

I used this and found that it worked also:

angular.module('foobar', []) .controller('coolCtrl', function($scope) {

});

I like that style much more(most of my Angular stuff looks like that too). Glad it all worked!
