Save button not working when clicked - Angular Basics

When I click the save button nothing shows heres my code:

 <!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" />
 <label class="editing-label">A sample todo</label>
 <input class="editing-label" type="text" />
 </div>
 <div class="actions">
 <a href="" ng-click="helloWorld()">edit</a>
 <a href="" ng-click="helloWorld()">save</a>
 <a href="" class="delete">delete</a>
 </div>
 <script src="vendor/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="scripts/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 </body>
 </html>

And my app.js code below:

 angular.module("todoListApp", [])
 .controller('mainCtrl', function($scope) {
 $scope.helloWorld = function (){
 console.log("Hello there this is the hello world controller");
 };
});

The problem is in your html.

<div ng-controller="mainCtrl" class="list">
 <input type="checkbox" />
 <label class="editing-label">A sample todo</label>
 <input class="editing-label" type="text" />

 </div> <!-- Remove this closing div cause this marks the end of your controller -->

 <div class="actions">
 <a href="" ng-click="helloWorld()">edit</a>
 <a href="" ng-click="helloWorld()">save</a>
 <a href="" class="delete">delete</a>
 </div>
